Discussion Sun, February 17, 2 - 4pm slt
Jack & Elaine Whitehorn memorial Library, Caledon VictoriaCity
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caledon%20VictoriaCity/52/203/23
(The SLURL takes you to a hub in Caledon VictoriaCity... Just follow the red arrow/beacon north through the Reading Room to the Main Library. Please direct questions to JJ Drinkwater or Kghia Gherardi)
The Scarlet Letter explores concepts of love, personal honor, constancy, and the burdens of secrecy. A classic of North American fiction, it gives us a view of the start of early colonies through the filter of the 19th century. A staple obligatory subject for High School English, and Hawthorne's best-known work,The Scarlet Letter is often seen as merely a tale of outmoded moral codes. However, it rewards the reader with a great deal of sensuous pleasure, as a wonderfully complex exercise in use of symbolism and allegory. The Scarlet Letter is a story about concealment and the discovery of meaning, and Hawthorne gives the reader much to interpret, as his story of penitence, both social and personal, unfold.
The Discussion will be led by Dame Kghia Gherardi, Literature Curator to the Caledon Library
All Readers of Novels (Edifying and Otherwise) and literary schmoozers are welcome to join us, as are likewise all Scarlet Women, Virtuous Penitents, Starched Puritans, Guilt-ridden Self-deceivers, and Unpredictable Plot Devices, whether they have read the work or not
