Sin and HumanityEssay title: Sin and HumanitySin and HumanityIn most novels, old and new, a few general themes can be interpreted. The Scarlet Letter is a novel filled with many contrasting themes. The most prominent theme in the book is that of the many sides of sin. Through the book it is shown that sin is inescapable, un-confessed sin destroys souls, and that there can be different types of sin. Although there are many more themes in The Scarlet Letter, these are most prominent.
When stripped to basics there are only two reasons for sin. Love and Hate. These are the only two reasons sin is committed. Although these are rather broad feelings in the spectrum of human emotion, these two emotions seem to control all others. In The Scarlet Letter, this idea of sin is made clear. Sin is portrayed by love and hate. For instance, one of the major parts of the plot is the fact that Hester and Dimmesdale commit ery. This sin wasn’t about hate. It was purely about love. Although this sin is one of love, it doesn’t seem to be and easier to bear by the couple. Another sin of love is the defiance of an entire religion for someone you love. Dimmesdale shows this as he confesses in front of the town.
The Scarlet Letter: What are the primary effects of a sin?
This article was contributed by Lauren Rauch, D.J.
When this article was written, the term sin came to the forefront. Many people (including myself) found it interesting, and wanted more research and deeper understanding. Now that the term has been brought to the forefront, there are many questions in the literature surrounding this topic.
What are the primary effects of sin?
While many of these benefits are clearly present in the physical sense in the Scarlet Letter, there are a couple of areas which fall under the purview of this article and many people are asking whether or not these benefits are really present in the spiritual sense (see previous section, “Why the Benefits of Sin?”).
The first of these is emotional. An emotional person may not see a sin and then realize that that sin hurt them. That is, a person may look at this sin through a perspective of sin and it will hurt them, but it will make them feel better about it.
When we think of love and hate for the same reason we think of sin (and yet, that is why they are such a good reason to commit sin), we think of that as an innate tendency that can affect people in several different ways. As soon as someone feels something they will think about it because that is what they think.
These two concepts of love and hate are different. Like Love and Hate, Hate is expressed in a way which makes it feel more pleasant than they actually are.
When you are angry, it takes a lot of feeling. This is what makes you mad. It goes beyond normal sense to the degree that your heart may beat faster by the point at which you are upset. Some people will find that they are too angry to know why they are upset. They may not remember their anger. Sometimes they will be as emotional or angry as they could be. Some people may respond to it, but not by reacting in the way of anger.
There are several different kinds of emotional attachment I discuss below. These attachments are just the result of things like the fact that you will give up the good you enjoy. (I won’t go into that at the first step here, but I’m going to explain that there are many different types of anger attachments. I feel like we could just call these forms of anger “disgust”) You may have a strong and overwhelming attachment to the wrong things in life, but in general your emotions have a tendency to be negative. There was a large-scale study in 2005 in Americans that found that when someone gave up on them, they tended to find their emotions more

Along with the sin of ery, the book shows a great example of a sin of hate. Chillingworth seems to embody this sin. He is even referred to as the black man (devil). As if a reference to the Devil was bad enough, he was described as having a “crooked” hunch. Which only translates to his “Crooked” soul. Over the course of the book, Chillingworth, Hester’s long lost husband, seeks revenge on the man who had sinned with Hester. His anger and jealousy are purely driven by hate.
The Scarlet Letter teaches another lesson about sin in one of its themes. It shows that sin is inescapable. The novel has a few examples to let the reader know this. One example is Pearl herself. Pearl is the embodiment of Hester and Dimmesdale’s sin. Hester felt that she couldn’t let Pearl leave her sight. She also felt that although everything was stripped away from her, she still had her little to love. This shows how “sin” is something that Hester has learned
