So i started readingthe scarlet letter and i have to answer questions on the custom house. Posted By kaylenfalse at Mon, 11:46 PM in The Scarlet Letter || 0 Replies Does Hawthorne enter the consciousness of his characters or does he reveal their thoughts and feelings through their actions? Question 3: What is the point of view of this novel? Question 2: What is meant by "dramatic definition"? How might point of view help you discover the structure of a story? Is there a term called "thematic definition" or do you think I am being asked for the definition of theme? As far as the second part of the question goes, would I be crazy to say that in 3rd person, the theme is usually openly stated while it is typically implied through the character arc in 1st person? Question 1: What is meant by "thematic definition"? How do you think point of view helps to discover the theme or themes of a story? Maybe my mind just isn't working after the essay. I have a pretty solid understanding of The Scarlet Letter but I have a very difficult worksheet.

His ego takes something of a beating as Sherlock agrees, noting it’s some drop from his last client – a King. This is found early in the first meeting with Holmes when the Lord mentions the detective is probably not used to dealing with clients of his stature. The entertainment comes from Conan Doyle’s constant playful rubbing of Lord St Simon and, you suspect, his general class of aristocracy. It’s a reasonably sleight case for Holmes, though still giving him ample opportunity to bemuse Watson, Lestrade and his esteemed client.
