From the beginning of the book, the people of the Massachusetts Bay Colony determine Hester\u2019s identity for her.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s publicly shamed and forced to wear an A on her clothing, so everyone knows her as the adulteress. But she\u2019s a much more complex character than that. As the story continues, she begins to form her own identity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/need-know-4-scarlet-letter-characters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hester is a mother and an independent, strong woman<\/a>. Perhaps because she is isolated from the rest of society, she takes her identity as a mother very seriously. After some time, she starts interacting with the community again.<\/p>\n<p>She helps the poor and tries to be a good person, despite what society may think of her. As she develops her own identity, the symbolism of the A changes from a mark of sin to one of self-empowerment.<\/p>\n<p>So what do you do with this information? First, study the text and get evidence from the book to back up these claims. Then figure out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/thesis-builder\/type\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">what your thesis statement is going to be<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Mine might look something like this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The theme of identity is pervasive throughout <i>The Scarlet Letter<\/i> as Hester Prynne sheds the identity society has given her and, through good deeds and motherhood, creates a new one for herself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Themes in <em>The Scarlet Letter #2:&nbsp;<\/em>Sin<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Adam_and_Eve_before_God_after_their_sin-e1457151619897.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4164 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Adam_and_Eve_before_God_after_their_sin-e1457151619897.jpg\" alt=\"themes in the scarlet letter\" width=\"500\" height=\"709\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4164 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20709%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"themes in the scarlet letter\" width=\"500\" height=\"709\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Adam_and_Eve_before_God_after_their_sin-e1457151619897.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Puritans were a pretty intense group of Christians. They didn\u2019t believe in music or dancing, and they were especially cruel to sinners\u2014even though everyone sins. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-examples\/english\/the-scarlet-letter-970\/sin-in-the-scarlet-letter-3833\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sin as a theme<\/a> asks the question, \u201cWhat does sinning really mean?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The story opens with Hester being publicly shamed for committing adultery. And while the Puritans view all sins as being equally bad, <i>The Scarlet Letter<\/i> puts forth a different notion.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of acknowledging Hester\u2019s very public sin (adultery, which the whole town knows about), the story delves into the private sins of Chillingworth and Dimmesdale.<\/p>\n<p>Suspecting the Reverend Dimmesdale of being Pearl\u2019s father, Chillingworth plots against him. Instead of revealing what he knows, Chillingworth lives with Dimmesdale and torments him.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"blog-cta-simple\">\n\t\t<div class=\"blog-cta-simple-cont\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"blog-cta-simple-header\">Your grades will thank you. <\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"blog-cta-simple-desc\">Never miss a post.

He\u2019s a hypocrite (and we\u2019ll get more into this in a second). He publicly shames Hester even though he&#8217;s the \u201cother man.\u201d Dimmesdale earns the respect of the public by denying his own sin while condemning Hester\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>In the end (spoiler alert), both Chillingworth and Dimmesdale die\u2014 showing the reader that their sins were the ones deserving death sentences, not Hester\u2019s act of adultery.<\/p>\n<p>For a thesis statement, I might write the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In <i>The Scarlet Letter<\/i>, Nathaniel Hawthorne explores the theme of sin in Hester Prynne, Dimmesdale, and Chillingworth. Although it seems at first that Hester has committed a serious sin\u2014adultery\u2014it is Dimmesdale and Chillingworth who are the true sinners as they are consumed by the sins they commit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Themes in <em>The Scarlet Letter #3:&nbsp;<\/em>Hypocrisy<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4165\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4165\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/754px-The_Scarlet_Letter_1917_1-e1457151685227.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4165 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/754px-The_Scarlet_Letter_1917_1-e1457151685227.jpg\" alt=\"themes in the scarlet letter\" width=\"500\" height=\"398\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4165 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20398%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"themes in the scarlet letter\" width=\"500\" height=\"398\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/754px-The_Scarlet_Letter_1917_1-e1457151685227.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4165\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">(<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Template:PD-1923\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PD-1923<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-examples\/english\/the-scarlet-letter-970\/hypocrisy-in-the-scarlet-letter-3832\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hypocrisy in <i>The Scarlet Letter<\/i><\/a> is shown through Dimmesdale. You kind of root for him because he\u2019s a much nicer guy than Chillingworth, but he\u2019s living a lie. As the leader of a church, he should know better. <i>The Scarlet Letter <\/i>shows just how dangerous living a lie can be.<\/p>\n<p>The entire community respects Dimmesdale\u2014he\u2019s a great orator, and he helps people when they&#8217;re in trouble. He condemns Hester for her adultery because it is what is expected of him, but he also shows her some compassion. After all, she <i>is<\/i> his lover.<\/p>\n<p>But while Hester is treated as an outcast, Dimmesdale is praised as an honorable guy\u2014even though they participated in the same sin. Doesn\u2019t sound very fair, does it?<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Dimmesdale\u2019s hypocrisy eats him up inside. He feels guilty about it, and an A appears on his chest as a physical representation of his sin.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t want to be a hypocrite and tell <em>you<\/em> how easy it is to write a thesis statement for this theme while not actually offering an example myself. So here it is:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Through Dimmesdale, <i>The Scarlet Letter <\/i>shows readers how dangerous hypocrisy can be and how it can take over a person\u2019s life. Dimmesdale\u2019s hypocrisy over Hester Prynne\u2019s adultery and public shame consumes him and, eventually, is the cause of his death.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Themes in <em>The Scarlet Letter #4:&nbsp;<\/em>Revenge<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/revenge-492560_640-e1457151762441.png\" alt=\"themes in the scarlet letter\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4166 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20375%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"themes in the scarlet letter\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/revenge-492560_640-e1457151762441.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Chillingworth is the type of guy who is worthy of sending chills down anyone\u2019s spine (maybe the reason for his name?). He is the epitome of evil in <i>The Scarlet Letter<\/i>, and his primary act of evil is seeking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-examples\/english\/the-scarlet-letter-970\/revenge-in-the-scarlet-letter-3831\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revenge<\/a> on Dimmesdale.<\/p>\n<p>Chillingworth never really loved Hester, but he is certainly angry when he finds out she had another man\u2019s baby. He decides that her public humiliation is torture enough and decides to find her lover and take revenge on him\u2014which he does.<\/p>\n<p>Chillingworth poses as a doctor and manages to get very close to Dimmesdale, who he begins to torture. I\u2019m sure he could have easily killed Dimmesdale (and not thought twice about it), but he decides to make it a much more agonizing process.<\/p>\n<p>He slowly tortures Dimmesdale until the reverend really cannot stand it anymore. Chillingworth represents revenge to such an extreme that once Dimmesdale confesses his sin in front of the town, Chillingworth dies because he doesn\u2019t get to seek revenge anymore\u2014his life\u2019s mission is over.<\/p>\n<p>All right \u2026 last thesis statement, and then you\u2019re on your own:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The theme of revenge in <i>The Scarlet Letter<\/i> is embodied by Chillingworth, who represents pure evil. Chillingworth is so consumed by his plans for vengeance that he makes it his ultimate life goal and quickly perishes once his goal is fulfilled.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>See, not so bad right? The themes of identity, sin, hypocrisy, and revenge in <i>The Scarlet Letter<\/i> are still significant in today\u2019s society\u2014even if we\u2019re not all Puritans.
