Setting Analysis
The story takes place in New england. The way I figured this out was by the way they spoke they spoke differently. I know the story takes place around the time of the 19 century because that was the time era where the thought of witches was brought up into concern. When Hester was starting to make the assumpsion that her daughter was a witch she referenced a woman by the name of Mistress Hibbons who was banished because she was caught practicing witch craft. The other reason I believe it was during the 19th century was because religion was law, now a days the law is based on things that are more practical. The place Hester lived in had to be of a relitively nice climate because she loves to garden and gardening is a repetitve accurance in the story.
