1. Choose one character and explain how Hawthorne develops that character by using the novel's setting to reflect that character's journey.
2. What is Hawthorne's message (about guilt or sin)? Choose one or more symbols and explain how he uses them to convey his message.
3. Does Hawthorne condemn Hester for her adultery or the townspeople for their treatment of her? Using a close examination of his style (which might include diction, symbolism, figurative language, etc) explain how he reveals his opinion.
You should be ready to write on all of these, but will only have to write on one. You may bookmark pages and bring brief outlines (thesis, topic sentences, pg numbers).
