While being a elegantly written and composed story the tale of a puritan society I believe was better told by Arthur Miller in his "The Crucible". It seems that Nathaniel Hawthorne tries to convey how the all pervasive power of stifling religion kills life, love and all pursuits of pleasure but he d...
I honestly didn't know what to expect from this book. Even though it had a rather interesting plot line, I knew it is an old book, and therefore probably written in a style that didn't appeal to me.
