What Is Active Voice?

An author may write a sentence in one of two "voices"—active or passive.

The active voice emphasizes the performer (or agent) of the action:

Wind disperses plant seeds.

Smith et al. investigated the relationship.

We have analyzed the results.

The active voice is direct (performer–verb–receiver), vigorous, clear, and concise. The readerknows who is responsible for the action.

<span>
What Is Passive Voice?</span>

The passive voice, in contrast, emphasizes the receiver (or product) of the action:

Plant seeds are dispersed [by wind].

The relationship was investigated [by Smith et al].

The results have been analyzed [by us].

The passive voice is indirect (receiver–verb–performer) and can be weak, awkward, and wordy. Passive voice uses a form of the verb to be followed by a past participle (e.g., dispersed, investigated) and a by phrase. If the by phrase is omitted (the truncated passive), the reader will not directly know who or what performed the action.

A particularly awkward and ambiguous form of the passive voice occurs when an author uses itas the receiver rather than the first-person pronouns <span>I or we</span>:

It is concluded that the treatment is effective.

These types of passive-voice sentences are a form of hedging.

Themes of scarlet letter
amid [387]
There are many themes in the novel Scarlet Letter, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and certainly the most important of them is the concept of sin and how it should be treated. As you already know, the heroine of this novel is Hester Prynne, who cheated on her husband and was thus condemned by the whole society, which didn't want to forgive her. Another theme is love, primarily between Hester and the priest, but also between Hester and her child. The position of women in society is another theme.
