In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the character Hester Prynne embodies confidence, kindness, loyalty, and strength, and she maintains a free spirit despite her severe punishment and ostracism from society. Hester Prynne is described as being “beautiful from regularity of feature and richness of complexion” (Hawthorne 55).

According to David Berreby, humanities are simply “unlike anything else found in nature” (par. 24). Human behavior is so complex that sometimes everyday interactions by humans seem unreal when studied more in depth. John Berger and David Berreby both discuss how humans view other humans.

However, although Berreby claims that humans have subconscious impressions of one another, he would likely disagree that humans are seen as objects, instead seeing deeper, meaningful human connection within one another.
