Review by annaonthepage - The Scarlet Letter

annaonthepage 's review for:

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Complicated

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Writing style a bit stuffy for me. Interesting indictment of the hypocritical misogyny thriving in the social and legal punitive system of the time. Quite emotionally intelligent and well observed, explores different avenues of the impact on everyone involved in the 'crime' of infidelity.
