the scarlet letter. I found it extremely unrelatable, and generally boring. I think The Crucible play by ~~the same author~~ arthur miller* conveys the same overarching principles about religious hypocrisy and herd mentality in a much more interesting way.
Possibly showing my ignorance here, but The Crucible is by Arthur Miller, and The Scarlet Letter is by Nathaniel Hawthorne - did either of them write a work with the other title as well? I can't find anything to suggest they did, but I might be missing something.
Oh, no. you're correct. my mistake. it's been a while.
No worries, easily done. I meant to say before, I also really like the Crucible - something we studied at school, and yet I still liked it! ๐
First school book I ever noped out of.
