Comparing Hope Leslie or Early Times in Massachusetts and The Scarlett Letter is interesting because at first glance both novels don’t appear to have much in common aside from having a female protagonist and taking place within Puritan society of early America. (keep but not as first sentence). However, despite obvious differences between both novels such as the character presentation of the female protagonists in Hope Leslie who range from the free-spirited Hope Leslie, obedient Puritan Esther, and character of Magawisca as a noble but proud Native American contrasts with the Hester Prynne’s presentation as a shamed but deeply contemplative woman in The Scarlett Letter. The different purposes all these characters each serve in their respective stories begins to show commonality in that Hope Leslie’s Hope, Esther, and Magawisca and The Scarlett Letter’s Hester Prynne all have to overcome the adversity and social expectations with Puritan society so they can follow their hearts and do what they feel is right by relying on their wit, intelligence, and inner strength. By examining how both Hope Leslie and Hester Prynne overcome the challenges they face in their respective Puritain socities it will be easier to observe how these novels presentation of their female protagonist illustrates the gender politics of each text.

Hall once said, “It’s not often you get female characters who don’t fit into a box.” She is implying that women are often portrayed as one dimensional. To be in this box that would require them to have no emotion and not create any conflict. However, in The Scarlet Pimpernel, Marguerite and the Comtesse are interesting characters because they are never put into that box.

I believe Ruthie’s vision is ‘20/20’. I think that she is trying to make the journey more pleasant for her and for Bill. As “she [is] from rural Ohio and thrilled to death to be anywhere else,” she uses her imagination. She is “capable of seeing wonderful things.” For example, she says that she sees a Bigfoot when in reality she is seeing reflectors nailed to a tree stump. She is just trying to have fun as she almost never gets to be anywhere else besides rural Ohio. She also proves that she is an observer. On the other hand, Bill is not even paying much attention to what is happening on the sides of the road. “Bill rested his eyes while she cruised along making the occasional announcement…,” this quote proves that Bill is not an observer and

Melanie and Scarlett both start their journey home with Rhett Butler, a blockade runner who has shown a strong interest in Scarlett.

In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice Elizabeth Bennet, the protagonist, is empirical. To begin, in chapter 34, Fitzwilliam Darcy approaches Elizabeth in Mr. Collins’ house with intentions to propose to her. Before Darcy steps foot into the house, Elizabeth is aware that he is the reason that Mr. Bingley (Darcy’s friend) and Jane Bennet (Elizabeth’s oldest sibling) split up. This causes Elizabeth to dislike Darcy from the beginning, as the Bennett's’ mother has been urging her daughters to get married. Not only this, but as Darcy proposes Elizabeth finds it insulting to her and her family. Baring all of this in mind, Elizabeth replies to the proposal by saying how “‘[She] has every reason to think ill of [Mr. Darcy],’” (113). Not only this, but she also expresses her frustration by declaring to Darcy that “‘You [are] the last man in the world whom [I] could [ever prevail] on to marry,”’ (114). With all of this being said by Elizabeth, it is obvious that her response to Mr. Darcy was solely based on her experience with him and how he acts. Her opinions of him are justifiable, but they continue to formulate throughout the book when she begins to observe him more thoroughly. On the contrary, despite Darcy’s previous actions, towards the end of the novel Elizabeth is much more fond of him again. This occurs because Darcy mends a marriage

In J.D Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, chapter 25, page 260, Holden discovers text written on the bathroom walls of his younger sister, Phoebe’s elementary school. The text reads “F*ck you”. Holden was very upset in this particular scene in such a way that the reader might ask “why?”. His anger is expressed explicitly with him cursing on the person who wrote this and he vowed that he would love to kill whoever did this if he ever caught them. Although this scene doesn’t seem like that big of a deal, it is one of the most important scenes in the book leading to a much larger significance. In the novel, there are actually two scenes where the words “f*ck you” are expressed. Firstly, on the bathroom walls of Phoebe’s school and once again on the walls of the museum that Holden frequently visits. J.D Salinger allows his readers to emphasize with Holden’s disdain for profanity by showing his emotional turmoil, contempt of phoniness and his overall protectiveness of his sister, Phoebe.

In “Miss Brill,” Katherine Mansfield utilizes Miss Brill’s thoughts and actions and the surroundings to characterize Miss Brill as a lonely character. Mansfield immediately introduces Miss Brill with a very odd scene that shows her conversation with the fur coat. This quickly and effectively establishes the type of person Miss Brill is. As a result, Mansfield suggests that Miss Brill is a lonely and an “abnormal” person to illustrate to the audience how society treats those who are not considered “normal” through the later actions of a young couple.

In Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird,” Mayella Ewell, a young woman as well as the daughter of Bob Ewell, lives a life of insolence and isolation in the town of Maycomb. As a Ewell, which they are familiarized as being vulgar, uneducated, and indigent, Mayella is disrespected by the people of Maycomb as well as by her father. During the court case, Atticus shows courtesy towards Mayella by addressing her as a miss and a ma’am, which is not surprising for his values of equality. Mistaking his manners with sarcasm, she replies with, “Won’t answer a word you say as long as you keep mockin’ me” (pg.181). Harper Lee is demonstrating the amount of disregard Mayella faces in her life, so much that courtesy can’t be identified as just that. Mayella finds that Atticus is ridiculing her for what she doesn’t have, respect from others. With a reputation such as Mayella’s, people treat her like an outcast. Her lonely life can be a reason to explain why she always asked for Tom Robinson’s company, she wanted to experience friendship and perhaps love for the first time. Her loneliness was so clear to see, even Scout, who still has their childhood-innocent mind, can see through it. Scout compares Mr.Dolphus Raymond’s “mixed children” to Mayella because they both don’t know where to stand in their social class, “white people wouldn’t have anything to do with her because she lived among pigs; Negroes wouldn’t have anything to do with her

Thesis 2: Nathanial Hawthorne’s “The Scarlett Letter,” describes many characters with many different personality traits that lead to the main theme of how sin can ruin a person’s life.

Imagine you are a lawyer tasked with an impossible case, and everybody in your community is against you, but still there is a shred of hope you cling to. What might that be you ask? That to which you cling are your morals. In To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus Finch had been given the Tom Robinson case, where a black man was convicted of raping a white woman. As a single father of two children, he continues to reinforce his values throughout the trial and during his daunting task of raising his children. In To Kill A Mockingbird what Harper Lee suggests about the nature of morals is that you should try to stand up for what you believe in even if people oppose or reject your ideals. Even when faced with an insurmountable opposition you should stand up for your morals because in the end if your don't follow your beliefs you are just contributing to the problem. We should try to create a voice for what we believe in and impress that upon the next generation so they can continue to exercise their beliefs to make the world a better place.
