Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter: A Love Story

consequences that made 'sin' a criminal act as well as socially
reprehensible. The relationships between the characters has been
examined in detail. This 5 page paper argues that The Scarlet Letter
is, at it's core, a love story. No additional sources are listed.

Hope Leslie
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the book 'Hope Leslie' by Catherine Maria Sedgwick. This is a novel set in early America and deals with the subject matter of the Native Americans and other prevalent issues of the day, in a completely different manner than perhaps any book has before. Sedgwick approaches her subject matter from a very skeptical, and obviously disgruntled, position in which she examines puritanical attitudes and the position of women in society. No additional sources cited.
