The focal subject is misdirection. The landowner has all the earmarks of being a decent soul, kind-hearted, mindful, liberal and, most-of-all, deciveing, after all the definition of misdirection is the action or process of directing someone to the wrong place or in the wrong direction. A good example of this in The Landlady is, after a specific point in the story Roald Dahl holds the peruser's enthusiasm with hinting. Yet, in the early part he holds the peruser's advantage just by depicting a scene of immaculate effortlessness and serenity. What could be more protected and pure than a warm quaint little inn foundation in a stodgy town like Bath? The landlord is a normal sweet minimal old woman who continues everything flawless and clean and likes to talk with

While he only stayed there for three years he did have an interesting story as to why he left.

Nathaniel Hawthorne was born on July 4, 1804 in Salem Massachusetts and died on May 19, 1964 in Plymouth New Hampshire. Mr. Hawthorne was injured when he was young and during that time he became fascinated with literature and writing, eventually he went to college and made friends many of whom are famous classic writers. After graduation he returned home and wrote many of his famous book, The Hollows of the Three Hills, An Old Woman's Tale, My Kinsman, and many more. During this time Hawthorne worked for the Boston Custom House, where he met his first wife. They eventually got married, moved to Massachusetts, and had three children. Due to financial reasons they moved back to Salem and he got a job at the Salem Custom House, soon he was let go due to the election of a new president named Zachary Taylor. During this time he started writing again, this is when he wrote The Scarlet Letter.

“On the outskirts of town, within the verge of the peninsula, but not in close vicinity to any other habitation, there was a small thatched cottage. It had been built by an earlier settler, and abandoned because the soil about it was too sterile for cultivation, while its comparative remoteness put it out of the sphere of that social activity which already marked the habits of the emigrants. It stood on the shore, looking across a basin of the sea at the forest-covered hills toward the west.”

Hawthorne’s use of diction in the novel suggest his disapproval toward the Puritan way of life. Hawthorne begins the novel describing the site of a prison. The Puritans had made it a priority to “allot a portion of the virgin soil as a cemetery and another portion as the cite of a prison” (41). The use of the words “virgin soil” he depicts the land as new and innocent. However, by introducing the prison and cemetery it presents a bleak view of the Puritan society. This contrasts the view that the puritans had created the perfect society when they had that much distrust in mankind. This view continues with the description of the jail “already marked with weather-stains” giving it “a yet darker aspect to its beetle-browed and gloomy front” (41).

A review of the house itself suggests that an architectural hierarchy of privacy increases level by level. At first, the house seems to foster romantic sensibilities; intrigued by its architectural connotations, the narrator embarks upon its description immediately--it is the house that she wants to "talk about" (Gilman 11). Together with its landscape, the house is a "most beautiful place" that stands "quite alone . . . well back from the road, quite three miles from the village" (Gilman 11). The estate's grounds, moreover, consist of "hedges and walls and gates that lock" (Gilman 11). As such, the house and its grounds are markedly depicted as mechanisms of confinement--ancestral places situated within a legacy of control and

The devastation of losing a parent at a young age can cause long-term effects that last into adulthood. When Hawthorne was four, his father died of yellow fever and this caused problems for him. His mother became very overly protective and pushed him toward isolated pursuits (Biography). His childhood left him shy and bookish, which molded his life as a writer. He also was not a very social person, had few close friends, and had little engagement with others (Biography). If Hawthorne’s life had not started the way it did, he would have never been the person he was as an adult, and society would have never been able to see the writing he could create. Nathaniel

:”Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”, said by Martin Luther King, Jr. The Crucible written by Arthur Miller in 1953 introduces us a story of this kind that injustice brought by a character named Danforth brings the social malfunction of Salem accompanied by a breakdown of humanity and faith. In our modern society, the public requires the power and presence of laws and justice system to protect their rights. However, when the structures become shackles and the judges mute off their voice of the truth, it leads the tragedy and misery to the people.

First of all, these three short stores deal with nature and science, but when one delves deeper into the stories, it becomes apparent that Hawthorne actually explores relationships among family members. These three works of writing portray Hawthorne’s thematic writing

Nathaniel Hawthorne was one of the best fiction authors of the 1800’s, and is still highly praised to this day. Hawthorne paved the way for future successful authors such as William Faulkner. Hawthorne was born on July 4, 1804, in Salem, Massachusetts, the second of three children born to Nathaniel and Elizabeth Hathorne (their son added the "w" to the family name when he began his writing career). In 1808, Hawthorne’s father, a ship's captain, died of yellow fever in the distant port of Surinam Hawthorne attended college at Bowdoin College where his main concentration was writing.” (Egotism; or, The Bosom Serpent) “In sketches, tales, and romances published in the second third of the nineteenth century, Hawthorne chose mainly American materials,

In this passage from “The Custom House” Hawthorne establishes a patronizing tone toward Salem, “the scorned city.” Providing readers with a dreary lulling view depicting the city, exampling the “wharves crumbling to ruin,” Hawthorne paints a scene of dull misery. As a ship master returns to port, he carries a tarnished box, representing

In stark comparison to his ancestors, his life was relatively normal; he was married with children and spent his days doing what he loved the most, writing. Hawthorne would often draw from his own personal understandings or beliefs, just as he did when he wrote “but the past was not dead” in “The Custom House”. It was evident that Hawthorne’s Puritan past was alive within him, and even after his death in 1864; it continued to live on forever in the pages of his books.
