overlook in the Pearl; in fact, it plays a large role in the book. Greed plays a large theme in The Pearl, demonstrated by the characters of the doctor, the pearl buyers, and Kino himself.

The quote “When the news of Kino’s great find - ‘The Pearl of the World’ - spreads through the small town, no one suspects its power to deceive, to corrupt, and to destroy” indicates

Because of the irrational and nonsensical actions of virtually every character in The Scarlett Letter, I find it extremely difficult to substantiate a claim that I empathize with any of them on any genuine level. However, for the sake of completing this summer’s reading assignment, I will resort to writing about the only person who displays typical human behavior in a way to which I can somewhat relate—Roger Chillingworth. Though cynical, egocentric, and (dare I say) satanic, Roger Chillingworth
