Reflection
It was obvious to me the moment I started this project that it would be no walk in the park. Being a feminist, I naturally view everything in terms of feminism, gender roles, and sexism. However, explaining my ideas using academic language is very difficult when I start getting fired up, which is--unfortunate for most--very often.
But it's done! I did it and it was relatively cohesive! Bring in the dancing lobsters!
After reading my articles "Hester Prynne is a Heroine" and "Was Nathaniel Hawthorne a Feminist?", you can decide for yourself whether you believe Hawthorne intended to empower 19th century women with his strong heroine Hester. Personally, I do not think it was on purpose, and that perhaps any and all of it's feminist significance was an accidental reflection of his deepest, darkest thoughts and ideas.
I hope my theme was fairly obvious and that i did an excellent job of tying all of the genres together through this examination of sex and gender in "The Scarlet Letter."
Thanks for reading folks, and have you told a lady she's rad to the max today? No? Unless she's an internet lady, get off the computer and go tell her!
