Sacrifice: A Short Story

The element that adds the most mystery to this tale is suggestion. Hawthorne never explicitly tells the reader what is happening; his skillful use of suggestion allows for multiple interpretations of the story to exist, with no particular one being wrong. Foremost,

The detailed characters allow the audience to learn Hawthorne’s values vicariously through the characters. The author may understand the same guilt that the minister has, and the shame that god places among us mortals. However he doesn’t beat the concept over the readers’ head like Edward. He crafts a tale that can be easily digested, and allows readers to pick subtle hints from the author.

On www.classroom.synonym.com/what-are-hades-powers-weaknesses, it provides, “Hades is considered to be very wealthy, because the earth is filled with precious metals and rihces. Hades is rich with the wealth of the earth, so he can get and do anything he wants, with the gems that are located in the ground such as diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and gold. I am rich with the wealth of the earth. If I touch the ground diamonds will pop up. I always know where jewels,and diamonds

ploy set by Hawthorne to add a little twist to the story, and give us the

At it's peak it had been the place for wealth and privileged, and it could be again. On the first count, the analysts had been correct. Within weeks of his arrival, the residence had taken upon a fresh coat of paint, the lawns manicured, gardens tended, half-mile long driveway freshly paved, six-foot high security fence erected around the perimeter, and the interior gutted and rebuilt. However, as time continued to pass, there was no advertising, no marketing, no publicity, or no opening date. Hawthorne had been amused by each article he had read, as they moved from confidence of his plans, to querulous, then scepticism, and finally, downright confusion. The young Tische, was the only one who knew that the Manor would be opening again, however not as a hotel. His business would be much more lucrative, and entry by invitation

Many times the gods are misunderstood and eccentric, society judges them before they understand the circumstances of how they became the god they are. Hades is one of these gods. The oldest brother to Zeus and Poseidon, who seem to get all the attention, from the outrageous affairs they had with goddesses and mortal women to the storms that they create on land and in the ocean. Unfortunately Hades was not as lucky as his brothers and was named God of the Underworld. Death is not a pleasant topic so it is understandable why society was so leery so Hades and were scared to even mention his name. Hades is described as “gloomy, stern and deaf to all appeals, so no sacrifices were offered to him” (ghostwritter999), with the job that Hades was given, it is no wonder why his attitude would be exactly that. There are many stories of Hades through out the mythology world would be the perfect fit for Johnny Depp, especially the story of how Hades met his wife Persephone. Hades did not often travel outside of the underworld, but on one particular day he did and “Hades fell in love with Persephone and decided to kidnap her. He traveled above ground to pursue her, while she was gathering

First, Hawthorne himself needs to be understood, both as a man and as an author.

Long ago before humans and animals existed, there were three brothers who defeated their father. The youngest of the three became king of gods because he was the one who defeated their father Kronos. They sent the oldest brother to be king and god of the Underworld because of his dark passion to be king of gods. This brother’s name was Hades, who was very unlike his obedient brother Poseidon, king and god of the sea and all waters. Hades always stares through a small hole in the underworld. The ones he despises the most after his brothers are Gaia and Hephaestus, they helped the two elder gods seal Hades into the Underworld.

Hades was the supreme ruler of the underworld. Almost never did he leave his gloomy kingdom but was residing there instead, surrounded by darkness and silence….

Hawthorne uses Roger Chillingworth’s love for Hester to present this idea to us in a very complex way. Hester, the protagonist in the story, is a young girl who recently arrived to the new world. Her husband is thought to be dead, so when she arrives she is all alone. Not long after arriving, she becomes the main topic of conversation in the town. The reason for this is that she has had a child out of marriage, but she refuses to discuss who the father of Pearl. Hester faces years of public shaming. As a part of her punishment, she has to wear a scarlet letter on her dress. The narrator reveals that the father is Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, and that he is in love with Hester. Hester’s husband, Roger Chillingworth, comes to see Hester and tells her not to tell anyone that they’re married. Even though he does his best not to show his emotions, he is still in love with her. Chillingworth becomes angry with Hester for committing adultery, and thinks that she should suffer. He says, “Live, therefore, and bear about thy doom with thee, in the eyes of men and women—in the eyes of him thou didst call thy husband—in the eyes of yonder child! And, that thou mayst live, take off this draught.” Due to his unrequited feelings for Hester, Chillingworth becomes a very mean and hateful man for the remainder of his

Hades is the son of Rhea and Cronus and sibling of Hera, Hestia, Demeter, Zeus, and Poseidon. Hades and his brothers (Poseidon and Zeus), got the three main entities of the world, Sky/Heaven, the Seas, and the Underworld. Hades was unlucky and got the Underworld. He “was also called the God of Wealth or ‘the rich one’ because he possessed the precious metals of the earth” (“Greek God of”…). Hades having all these riches did make him somewhat respectable since he ruled the unpleasant part of the world. In the underworld, Hades also had a three-headed dog, Cerberus. Cerberus guarded the doors and let “the dead to enter but letting none out” (“Cerberus”...). Cerberus protected all the souls, and protected Hades from losing his “job” over letting

Cerberus was a three-headed dog who guarded the underworld. The ferryman Charon was another one of the underworld’s main ‘characters’. Though Hades is the King of

A good, hard fuck, a gorgeous woman in his arms, the soothing warmth of the hot water, and the sensation of Harper's skin under this touch; his gentle caresses in total contrast to the manner in which he'd earlier treated on her on the cross. Hawthorne experienced a contentment unlike any other he'd felt in an eternity, and put that down to the woman he held. That relaxed state of mind may have been why the concept that had been just a seed in his mind had popped from his lips with no warning, and without prior planning.
