  1. The Novel "The Scarlet Letter" is basically the book equivalent of Birdemic: Shock and Terror, except without any bad acting to entertain, and the preachy as crap message being about Transcendentalism instead of Environmentalism.

     

    Otherwise, they are similar. Preachy as crap message, Badly paced plot, Cringeworthy Dialogue, Symbolism that is barely subtle, Cardboard Characters. (especially Hester Prynne. Pearl and Arthur Dimmesdale also have barely any personality, but they don't come close to Hester's level of awful. She's basically Rod in comparison to Nathalie and Rick.)

     

    This book should have been a philosophical essay. As a Novel, I have no Idea how it became one of the most important novels in american history. It would have fared better as a philosophical essay.

     

    But Hey, that is just my opinion. Maybe It will change as I grow older.

      I can appreciate the impact that it had on culture in the 19th Century.

      But Just because you are trying to bring a message across, does not mean that you can ignore things like good characters and plot. As I mentioned before, I think Charles Dickens was able to do both in Oliver Twist.

      You can, but why bother putting in real effort when you can just make a political statement and get the same result?

      It's funny, I had to endure both of them this year too. At least The Scarlet Letter is shorter than Moby Dick though.
