  2. Thesis Statement Hawthorne accentuates the significance of human nature that involve the beautiful and the bestial through both protagonists and antagonists.

  3. # 1 : Hester Prynne’s Beauty (ch.18 pg 243) “There played around her mouth, and beamed out of her eyes, a radiant and tender smile, that seemed gushing from the very heart of womanhood.”

  4. Beauty of Nature (Chapter 18 page 244) “Such was the sympathy of Nature- that wild, heathen Nature of the forest, never subjugated by the human law, nor illumined by higher truth- with the bliss of these two spirits! Love, whether newly born, or aroused from a death-like slumber, must always create a sunshine, filling the heart so full of radiance that it overflows upon the outward world. Had the forest still kept its gloom, it would have been bright in Hester’s eyes, and bring in Arthur Dimmesdale’s.”

  5. Chillingworth’s Darker Side: Revenge Ch. 4 p.89 “Why dost thou smile so at me?” inquire Hester, troubled at the expression of his eyes. “Art thou like the Black Man that haunts the forest round about us? Hast thou enticed me into a bond that will prove the ruin of my soul?” “Not thy soul,” he answered, with another smile. “No, not thine!”

  6. Roger Chillingworth’s lighter side (Chapter 24, pg 312) “At old Roger Chillingworth’s decease (which took place within the year), and by his last will and testament, of which Governor Bellingham and the Reverend Wilson were executors, he bequeathed a very considerable amount of property, both here and in England, to little Pearl, the daughter of Hester Prynne.”

  7. #5: The Rose Bush (Chapter 1 page 56) “This rose-bush, by a strange chance, has been kept alive in history; but whether it had merely survived out of the stern old wilderness, so long after the fall of the gigantic pines and oaks that originally over-shadowed it, -or whether, as there is fair authority for believing, it had sprung up under the footsteps of the sainted Ann Hutchinson, as she entered the prison-door, -we shall not take upon us to determine. Finding it so directly on the threshold of our narrative, which is now about to issue from that inauspicious portal, we could hardly do otherwise than pluck one of its flowers, and present it to the reader. It may serve, let us hope, to symbolize some sweet moral blossom, that may be found along the track, or relieve the darkening close of a tale of human frailty and sorrow.”
