<span>Historical fiction is a type of literature which is told in various media. These are stories that are based on true historical events and are set in historical place and time. But some characters of a historical fiction may not have existed in real historical setting. Some are just added to spice the plot up and twist the story for the better. There can also be added dialogue and scenes that can be extra parts of the story. However, its entire essence and historical value are still intact. </span>

Hawthorne alludes, or refers, to the Virgin Mary in Chapter 2 in the Scarlet Letter. Why is this allusion appropriate? Why is it
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Hawthorne alludes, or refers, to the Virgin Mary in Chapter 2 in the Scarlet Letter.

a) This allusion is appropriate as Hawthorne compares Hester's pregnancy to the Virgin Mary's conception of the child Jesus.  The two could be said to have become pregnant without their natural husbands.

b) However, the allusion becomes inappropriate and ironic because Hester conceived by committing adultery.  On the other hand, the Virgin Mary became pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit and not through sexual intercourse with any human being.

c) Hawthorne was simply satirizing the Puritans to the effect that they did not practice what they claimed that they believed in.  They were just sanctimonious, harboring impure thoughts, and committing sins with reckless abandon.  They also tried to deny human sexual needs; at the same time, they were busy secretly satisfying their sexual appetites.

Explanation:

The Scarlet Letter (1850) was authored by Nathaniel Hawthorne.  The historical fiction chronicled some important human realities, including guilt, stigmatization, revenge, and redemption.  It contrasted Hester's public humiliation for adultery, as she was forced to wear the scarlet letter A, with Dimmesdale's private shame and anguish for private sins.

What do you think it would be like to live in a world where everyone performed at least one act of kindness every day? How can d
Norma-Jean [14]

The world would be a much happier place because if everyone helped each other there would be much happier people knowing that other people have their back and are willing to help each other. An act of kindness will help the community be better because even if you do one small little thing for one person they might be motivated to start helping other people and so on.
