It's The Scarlet Letter Time!

The Scarlet Letter is one of the best works of American Literature, and it's really worth reading. As the first novel to be discussed in our LA Prose class, it's a good idea to focus on several themes. These are some common themes that appear in The Scarlet Letter:

1. Alienation
2. Breaking Society's Rules
3. Appearance vs Reality
4. Love Triangles
5. Religious Communities
6. The Nature of Evil
7. Identity and Society

Work in groups of four, and select one of the above themes and specify your topic for next week's presentation. Use powerpoint slides, and as always, use some quotations from the novel to support your analysis. Well, good luck researching!
