Analysis of style and structure
The authors use of diction was not favourable in my opinion. Often i found myself referencing back to my dictionary because i didnt understand. I believe that the theme of the story is dont judge a book by its cover because Hester seemed to be so gorgeous yet attended church every sabath and was greatly involved in the church community but in the end she recieved a scarlet A for adultery and a baby that no one knows who the father of it is.
The literary devices that were used in the story were repitition and aliteration. Repitition was use when Hester was with the doctor and he was talking about finding the man who did thid to her. he had said "but he will be known, he will be known, he will be known. I think this device was used here to really emphasize that even though he was mad at the fact that she had dishonored herself he was even more upset at the man who helped.
