Answer:
The statement that best describes the Gothic content of Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" is:
D. Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.
Explanation:
<u>There are several themes explored in Gothic literature, and sin is among them.</u> In Hawthorne's <u>"The Scarlet Letter", set in Puritan Boston of the 1600's</u>, sin is the definitely the main theme. Of course, since the book was published in 1850, the concept of sin had been greatly altered. While<u> the characters in the story suffer terribly from the accusations of being sinners</u>, or the fear of being accused to be so, the society that actually read the book saw them as human beings who make mistakes and deserve forgiveness.
<u>The main character, Hester Prynne, is shamed for being an adulteress. She is punished and shunned by a vengeful society. The very man who had an affair with her, on the other hand, hides his sin, afraid of owning up to it and being punished as well.</u> For that reason, we can choose letter D as the best option: Characters struggle with the ownership of sin, the shame of sin, and the vengeance of sin.
