435 Words2 Pages
Nathaniel Hawthorne was an author who was born in Salem, Massachusetts on July 4, 1804. He wrote many famous novels, including The Blithedale Romance, The Scarlet Letter, and the House of Seven Gables. He was a renowned artist, and many people do not know that he was also a politician. He took many inspirations for his writings, one of which was the Puritan Christian culture. His book; The Scarlet Letter was about a Puritan woman named Hester Prynne, who is found guilty of committing adultery, and as punishment, must wear a scarlet colored 'A', standing for 'Adulteress', on her chest for crime against the word of God.
Many say that Nathaniel Hawthorne was a Christian, man, and with the amount of research I have found, I would agree and disagree.
