Novel: The Scarlet Letter



‘The Scarlet Letter’ is a novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1950. Major characters are Hester Prynne, Arthur Dimmesdale, Chillingworth, and Pearl. Hester represents individual and free fate of will. She suffers a lot in puritan society because of her sin and crime. She has relationship with Arthur Dimmesdale without marriage and then she became pregnant. But puritan society and these people believes that she done crime but why this situation creates in her life? This nobody can see but behind this circumstances one reason. Her husband Chillingworth not came from eight years. May be she tired and bored with one type of situation. That’s why she thinks of further relationship of Dimmesdale. Pearl, her little daughter is a symbol of her love. Pearl is a child so she is very innocent but used by puritan magistrates as object. Even they can’t think about her.

In the scaffold scene, on the bosom of Hester symbol of “A” given by magistrate. Because they think she done crime and she must be punished. At this situation Dimmesdale also present and Hester very confidently faces people. ‘Scarlet letter’ is also symbol of this novel and color of these letters is red and red color is symbolizes blood, love, sacrifice. Here narrator is Pearl, she read the letters and then we came to know about the situation.

What I learnt from this novel?


According to my point of view, Hester is right to choose that path because every person has wished to live with one another. To all alone living a life is very difficult task because one can’t live without healthy relationship. Chillingworth is not living with her that’s why she went for Dimmesdale. Here Nathaniel Hawthorne presents the mindset of puritan people and how women treated in puritan society. But everyone has their own thoughts, feelings, emotions and hopes for life. So we can’t impose our idea to other person.

Stray Lesson of B.Ed in Semester-1

Experience of Stray Lesson in Primary School     In B.Ed First I came to know about Micro Teaching, then Bridge Lesson and then Stray Lesson . Stray lesson was given by me on 9, 10, 11 and 12 August, 2016. It was very wonderful and memorable experience for me because students of this were very adjustable.   In this lesson all the skills are used by the trainee-teacher. Motivation skill, Questioning skill, Illustration skill, Reinforcement skill used by them. Time of this lesson is 30 minutes . Numbers of students are 35 to 40 . Our Professors gave us four lessons, two lessons about English (first method) and another was about Sanskrit (second method).   It is the only Girls Primary School.

They actively participated in questioning also.   Difference between Bridge lesson and Stray lesson is that in Bridge lesson Test of the Student and assignment (home-work) ...

Second Teaching Method of B.Ed: Bridge Lesson

Bridge Lesson   Generally, we think that process of teaching is very easy. But it covers so many things and step by step we have to follow it. In  video games  there are levels to win the game. Same type of levels we can see in B.Ed. First step of teaching is Micro-teaching and second step is Bridge-lesson.   Bridge lesson it means all the skills are jointed. It is one type of pool or one type of chains. One chain connected with another chain and it’s make long bridge. Ratio of students is 15 to 17 and 15 to 20 minutes trainee-teacher has to teach. It is one type of practice so within the students we have to do it. According to “Lesson-Plan” (Paath-Ayojan) we have to teach. If such thing not included in it it’s not necessary because all the things we can’t write on it. Space of Lesson-Plan is very narrow.   In 15 minutes all the skills are used by the teacher. One main important thing is that first turn always comes with Motivation Sk...
