The characters in Harper Lee's 1960 novel To Kill A Mockingbird, portray acceptance, tolerance and forgiveness through their moral actions towards discriminative situations. Throughout my visual representation I have portrayed visual symbols to reflect upon Lee's southern gothic novel about immoral discrimination and inequality within Western society through the world of Maycomb; a small town situated in Alabama. Lee challenges the audience about the segregation of individuals through the court case of Tom Robinson; an innocent black who is accused of raping and beating a low class girl. Atticus, a well respected lawyer, stands up for the equal treatment and fair trial of Robinson. This pivotal event within the novel, as well as the ongoing

‘Honesty is the best policy’; ‘Always be yourself”, are common phrases many parents tell their children and as common as they may be, being honest and being true yourself contributes to individual happiness and contentness. ‘The Scarlet Letter’ by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a novel that dives deep into these key themes of honesty and integrity and the consequences of doing the opposite action. One of the main characters, Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale is a minister in 17th century Puritan New England who has deteriorating health because of his lies and guilt. Dimmesdale commits adultery with a beautiful woman in the town, Hester Prynne, whose husband, Roger Chillingworth, returns from Europe later on. Pearl, who is a product of Hester and

She began to feel disheartened; when she says her ‘heart sank further and further’. This tells us that she was feeling disappointed and felt that she should give up but by telling herself that one day life would ‘feel life was approximately a hundred times better’ it kept her going because she thought it would be over at some point and her life would then improve.

1. After Alexander’s best friend, Hephaestion, died of a fever (sometime between 324 BCE and May 323 BCE), he went nearly insane with grief.

In the book The Scarlet Letter dimmesdale, pearl, and Hester were not forgiven. The sins they committed had just been told to the people so they were very angry that Dimmesdale had kept the secret that long. Also she put the letter back on so the sunlight went away from Hester even though it was on her before.

The ships were put out to sea within a couple of days but the damage had already been done. The towns’ people came down with the illness and so did anyone who ventured onto those drifting vessels. The Black Death had arrived. The ships carrying the plague came into port in Genoa and Venice before it was realized they were the ones that caused so many people to suffer in Messina. An immigration mandate was passed, forcing people who were returning to Venice from the East to be quarantined for 40 days. The significance of this figure was that Christ had spent that many days suffering in the wilderness. In Milan, if anyone in your family came down with the illness, a cross was placed on the doors of the house and there you stayed until you succumbed to the plague. After leaving Italy, it took two months for the plague to raise its ugly head in France, where the immune systems of the citizens there were already fragile from wars and famine (Martin, S.).

No human being on this earth is entirely without flaw or sin, and so, many people often struggle with how they should deal with these wrongdoings and misdeeds; should one accept what they have done wrong and do everything in their power to atone for it, taking the path of higher morality despite how difficult it may be? Or should one neglect to make amends and simply hide their sins because it is easier not to take responsibility? The way that Nathaniel Hawthorne portrays the characters in his novel, The Scarlet Letter, who take these opposing routes in dealing with their sins, would strongly suggest that he, himself, believes that reconciliation is the best way to go about dealing with situations such as the ones he places his characters in, and the ones that we, as people, face every day in our actual lives.

An intriguing novel typically consists of multiple elements that contribute to the overall impact of the book. Those elements may include plot, setting, moods, or themes. The Scarlet Letter, penned by Nathaniel Hawthorne, not only includes all of those elements, but also engages and intrigues the reader through the development of the characters. Throughout the novel, many of the characters change or evolve in some way. These changes are shown through their actions, words, thoughts, and feelings. In Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, the author develops the characters of Pearl Prynne as candid, Hester Prynne as strong-willed, and Reverend Dimmesdale as hypocritical.

Forgiveness: Necessity or Courtesy? Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, shows how forgiveness is important both to society and the individual. Whether a spiritual part of life, or just an act of courtesy, forgiveness plays a huge role in the lives of both Hester and Dimmesdale.

Alexander died ten years later on July 13th, 323 B.C. Though not by injury, or in battle, but from what appeared to be overconsumption. After a prolonged banquet and drinking bought Alexander fell ill. Whether an intentional poisoning ultimately took the Kings life is still a subject of debate. His body was returned to Alexandria and he received divine honors in both Egypt and Greece (Walbank,

Hawthorne’s Display of Forgiveness and Reconciliation in The Scarlet Letter In this passage, Hawthorne introduces the idea that when one displays vulnerability and humility when seeking forgiveness, it leads to an act of reconciliation which can ultimately alter the course of one’s life. In The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne argues that Pearl’s act of forgiveness towards her parents cause a change in heart in each of them, and a restoration in their relationship. At Dimmesdale’s dying breath, Hawthorne writes, “Pearl kissed his lips. A spell was broken.

Sure Flavio had seen him before, but never like this, never with as much interest. Ever since his brother’s intense infatuation with his other, Flavio thoughts were plagued with what his own other self could be like. Luciano said at their last meeting, interacting with these other people could be good for their rag tag group of misfits. That when the bleakest of darkness meet the most intense light, its something wonderful, not exactly in those words however. Here before Flavio he saw it; he was walking down a small country road that must have been a town in southern Italy, on the other side. He was ravishing, dark hair, sharp green eyes, a peaceful gaze that looked foreign on his face. He was small and lean and beautiful, intoxicatingly so. Flavio couldn’t find the words to speak only managing a quick, ‘wait’. The other stopped and looked his way a scowl now in place and a look of shock in his eyes. Flavio wanted to speak, tell him how radiant he was but as his mouth opened to utter these words, a tan hand was held up and the other shook his head, before continuing on his way, taking his beauty with him and even as he rejected any sort of contact with Flavio, we was still something to behold.

Tears flowed down her eyes like a streaming river, you could tell she wasn’t ready for me to embark on this long triumphant journey. My mother and I have been tight like glue, ever since my parents became divorced. It’s been my mom and I for about 10 years now. Anyway, today was the day that I left to study abroad in Italy, Sicily, and Greece. I remember walk with my luggage and hearing the wheels on the bottom of my suitcase, “click, clack” as they hit the groves and then the top part of the smooth marble floor, I had never been out of the country without my mother. I could hear her voice in my head saying, “Carpe Diem. Seize the day Bria!”

There were many events that lead to the death of Alexander, one including the passing of his best friend Hephaestion, which caused Alexander to fast and lay in grief for two days (Hammond 196). Before he died, he believed that if he gave thanks to the gods and prayed, they would hear his thoughts and grant him salvation. Because of this, he did not arrange a transition of power (Hammond 200). However, Alexander did not have the gods on his side as much as he thought he did because on June 10th, 323 B.C.E. he died at the age of thirty-two (Hammond 198). He had obtained a fever and later lost his power of speech (Hammond 197). Soldiers came into his room and “as the men filed past he was unable to speak but greeted them with his eyes” (Hammond 198). It was suggested that he died of malaria tropica, and other reports said he died of poisoning or alcoholism (Hammond 198).
