"O, Hester, you are a demon. A man must be pure, just that you can seduce him to fall. Because the greatest thrill in life is to bring down the Sacred Saint with a flop into the mud. Then when you've brought him down, humbly wipe off the mud from your hair, another Magdalen. And then go home and dance a witch's jig of triumph, and stitch yourself a Scarlet Letter with gold thread, as duchesses used to stitch themselves coronets. And then stand meek on the scaffold and fool the world." This was the greatest criticism of The Scarlet Letter I have ever read. So very sarcastic. ahhh. yay, it makes me happy. Back to my paper now!
I actually like the Scarlet Letter, for the most part. Everyone else is saying that hate it, but I don't mind it so much. Gill, you are certainly rubbing off on me.
Now that I read it more, it doesn't seem so sarcastic.
