    Liked your analysis of the characters. Beautifully explained! It would be furthermore helpful if you could explain the ending, which I found confusing.

    I'm leaning towards the psychological approach. Analyzing the daughter's psychological growth, both in her girlhood and as an adult, would make for a good essay. This character is deep, and her motives are interesting. On the other hand, a feminist view could examine the role of women in the story or the aspects of the daughter's experience that are specifically female, such as the daughter-role proscribed by her mother. I'm curious as to which you will choose!

    Hello 6minute scholar, will it be to much to ask if you can do a chapter by chapter review on the scarlet letter. I will be taking a mid term next Monday and that will be very helpful if you did. I got an A on young goodman brown review you did. Thanks!!

    You didn't talk about the end phase as much. I understand that she found acceptance but I would have liked to hear more about the ending in how the daughter's POV changed or matured

    What would you consider the Author's message to be?

    • @SixMinuteScholar
      @SixMinuteScholar  Před 7 lety +1

      Cynthia Escobar Again, I will let you think on your own, but maybe the author is saying something about parenting, about mothers and daughters, or about how we undermine ourselves when we define ourselves against another person?

    So what was the theme to to the story ??

    • @nickdelluci5555
      @nickdelluci5555 Před 8 lety +2

      in conclusion the theme is don't let any one subdue you in your ambitions and goals be maverick and individualistic in your goals and don't let anyone alter or change you just follow your own path. with diligence ambition and persistency you can attain anything! hope that helps

    would analyzing this story as psychological criticism make sense? Or would feminist approach make more sense?

  • @BlueMoonLightDreams
    @BlueMoonLightDreams Před 8 lety +2

    i feel your explanation is pretty much what we can read from the story not much of an analysis...but i learned one or two things from here i guess...thanks
