SummaryIt is not uncommon for authors to manifest their personal experiences in their works. Nathaniel Hawthorne himself spent numerous years in seclusion. The diverse characters in Hawthorne’s timeless tale of adultery and sin, do so as well. The various forms of estrangement are experienced to different degrees depending on each character and vary in levels of negativity and endurance. In Hawthorne’s, The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne utilizes various images of human isolation to illuminate how the characters have evolved throughout the novel, whether or not their seclusion is chosen as well as which form of isolation is more bearable.
