Why is John Wilson not fit to judge Hester Prynne's crime?

English
1 answer:
wel2 years ago
5 0

He is not fit because he will not judge the crime rationally, but based on his own religious convictions, without observing the facts.

Although you haven't shown it, we can see that this question refers to the book "The Scarlet Letter."

We can reach this answer because:

  • John Wilson has a strong religious bias.
  • He represents pure Puritanism and in its most retrograde form.
  • Therefore, he is not willing to evaluate the evidence of Hester Prynne's crime critically and rationally, but will judge it based on his own concepts and opinions.
  • Therefore, he will not make a fair trial.

It is important to remember that "The Scarlet Letter" tells the story of a woman who conceived a child outside of marriage and who lives in a puritan society, where she is harassed and seen as a criminal.

What are TWO purposes of subheadings?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

To organize the text and to make the text easier to read

We use subheadings to give readers a sense of what they are reading, not to make them think the work is legit, and not to introduce new information or point out important facts.  We want readers to know what is coming, and what they are going to read so we don't waste their time

Answer: He thinks that poor people are more virtuous than the rich.

Explanation:

In the essay, “<em>The Poor and Their Betters” </em>by<em> Henry Fielding</em>, Fielding talks about how the rich seem to want to keep as many titles for themselves even the ones that they do not deserve such as being called betters in relation to the poor.

He then gives an example of how the poor are more virtuous than the rich because they rarely think about wanting to cheat people as rich people do. He infers that poor people are more cheerful and low in temperament as well.
