Second post reputation importance
As the story progresses, it's visible that in the town that people land respectively in a position reflective of their reputations. Hester has become more of an outcast more than an actual towns person because of her sinful acts. Chillingworth, who has come in to the town with a different identity has built his reputation up very well making him a very trusted physician in the town. Dimmesdale remains in a respective position because his adulterous actions are still unknown to the rest of the town. Reputations still remain vital as we see those who are recognized as sinners are shunned while those who make sure that their reputations remain unsoiled are rightfully praised.

ReplyDeleteexactly the point, and the fact that we took the time to discuss the actual theme and representation of the novel throughout our bogus conversation is in my mind admirable to say the least.
