Comparing the Judgmental Society in Ministers Black Veil and Scarlet Letter :: comparison compare contrast essays
A Judgmental Society in Ministers Black mask and ruddy garner   Our society is too judgmental and it always has been.  Even in the time Hawthorne wrote of in The Scarlet Letter and in The Ministers Black Veil peck judged before they knew the truth.        Objects were judged even though they had no relevance on what re altogethery happened.  In The Ministers Black Veil no one knew why the minister wore the veil precisely everyone take for granted it meant shame and that he had something to hide.  I think that the minister thought that it was his committee to show how superficial the people were.  The ministers own fiancee left him because no one knew anything nearly the veil he wore.  Again in The Scarlet Letter,  I can think of two more major examples where an bearing was used as a sign or omen. The first is of route the letter,  it meant evil, shame, and sin to the townspeople. All it was, was a letter nothin g more, nothing less.   The secondment object that people took as a prolific sign was the widows weeds on a grave.  They reasoned that the weeds were there because of the sins of that soulfulness, and that the weeds grew because flowers could not.   sight then and now take symbols too deeply and meaningful.          People lots take events to be meaningful and supernatural.  In The Scarlet Letter the meteoroid meant some great act of God or the Devil was about to take place.  All a meteor is, is a chunk of wave of that is being incinerated in our atmosphere.  As a second example, when a person was up on the scaffold it meant that they deserved scorn and ridicule and no mercy.  The scaffold meant you had shame and guilt and it was for all the others to see.          In those times people were taken to mean things as well.  Hester was good hearted and almost clean but was seen as a sinful evil person, to be avoided at all costs.  Chillingworth was seen as a kindhearted doctor hardly there to helper people when in actuallity he was an evil, sadistic man concerned only with his complete revenge on Dimesdale.   The minister, or reverend, is seen as a divine reverent person, to be looked upon as a level of holiness to achieve.
