The protagonist, whose name we never learn, feels trapped by the walls of the house, just as she is trapped by her mental illness.

... behind. The Party thought
they were doing things for the good of the people, when really all they
were doing was killing them. They were smothering them with rules and
regulations, depriving them of their natural born right to be able to marry,
have a family and indulge in the fruits of life. Is this the type of
future that Orwell intends to happen?
Orwell's view on the future may have been influenced by the activities
going on in the world around him. The allies had just defeated the Nazis
in the Second World War and people were starting to know all the details
of what the Germans had done durin ...

... be. Also the townspeople, the magistrates, and
Chillingworth, Hester's true husband, can be seen in both lights. Either they
can be perceived as just upholding the law -she committed a crime, they enforce
the law. On the other hand are they going to extreme measures such as wanting
to take Pearl, Hester's daughter, away just because Hester has deviated from the
norm, all to enforce an unjust law that does not even apply to this situation?
Although the subjects of the novel do apply to important issues in
history and could have had influences on the time period, they were not great.

Number of Words: 781 / Number of Pages: 3
... that made him a disgrace in the eyes of
an average white person. If he were white, a white store owner would have not
hesitated in the slightest to allow such privileges. How could these people be
so blind as to not see that a black person breathes the same air, eats the same
food, and has the same internal functions as themselves? This misunderstanding
stares them in the face and they can't see it. Their selfishness and fear is
completely unnecessary but it remains because the whites have never been exposed
to any other way of life. This is why the whites can not allow such common
privileg ...

breaking out in the streets because of the verdict. Before hand he was elected
