    In The Scarlet Letter it states, “This woman has brought shame upon us all, and ought to die!” (Hawthorne 49). People that were in the crowd while Hester was being publicly shamed said horrible things about her and that she should cease to exist. Hester felt that these words were very powerful and she became so sad because she knew the only person she would have in her life is Pearl and that is it. In addition, the text adds, “There were many people present, from the country round about, who had often heard of the scarlet letter, and to whom it had been made terrific by a hundred false or exaggerated rumors, but who had never beheld it with their bodily eyes. These, after exhausting other modes of amusement, now thronged about Hester Prynne with rude and boorish intrusiveness,” (Hawthorne 220). When several people came to listen to Mr. Dimmesdale give his sermon, they all would look rudely at Hester and the scarlet letter. Several people have heard many things, overstate and untrue rumors, about Hester and the scarlet letter and continued to shame her 7 years later for her sin. She did not appreciate getting a lot of attention at this revelation and definitely disliked and was hurt by all the rude stares she had gotten by the people. Furthermore, Monica Lewinsky was a woman who fell in love with her boss, Bill Clinton, the President of the United…

While Hester has an encounter with Roger Chillingworth, she tells Pearl to go play while she speaks with him. Pearl gets distracted by all of the elements of nature as she entertains herself. “Pearl took some eelgrass, and imitated, as best she could, on her own bosom, the decoration with which she was so familiar on her mother’s. A letter--the letter A--but freshly green, instead of scarlet!” Since she does this, she will not stop pestering Hester about what the “A” actually means.

    As she stood on the scaffold she held, Pearl, the child she bore because of her sin. Hester endured this horrible punishment, but where was her partner in all of this? Mr. Dimmesdale was standing beside the magistrates watching all of this silently, not wanting anyone to know that he was also a part of this crime. Yet, what if his name was spoken and revealed? Would his punishment have been this severe? At the end of the novel, when Dimmesdale reveals he also shares Hester’s sin many citizens afterward still did not believe that such a godly man would do this. In the novel it reads, “ ...spectators of the whole scene…denied that there was any mark whatever on his breast…Neither, by their report, had his dying words acknowledged… the slightest connection, on his part, with the guilt for which Hester Prynne had… worn the scarlet letter” (Hawthorne 285). They simply remained ignorant and refused to state that they saw the scarlet letter upon his breast. Many townspeople believed that his confession of the transgression was not a confession, but rather a passionate sermon on this subject. However, if Hester would have confessed it would have been easy to believe because women were seen as weak and the main culprits of adultery.…

    When Hester returns to Boston, she is still wearing the letter. People don’t believe their eyes. This is because Hester is not accompanied by Pearl. Pearl directly represents that letter and the end of the novel proves it. It has grown with Pearl and changed her too. As Wagenkenecht quotes John A. Andola in Characters in The Scarlet Letter, “‘Without her mother’s sin Pearl could not exist, nor could she exist without her mother’s love, both of which are symbolized in the scarlet A and in Pearl herself.’” (69) The ultimate symbolism in The Scarlet Letter is that Pearl is the scarlet A.…

    This led to the House of Representatives authorizing Ken Starr, the previous Chancellor of Baylor University, to independently lead the impeachment inquiry. Ultimately, Starr’s findings of explicit sexual misconduct were released in what is famously known as the Starr report. This report revealed the nature and extent of the relationship between Clinton and Lewinsky that began as early as November 1995. On August 17, 1998, Bill Clinton became the first sitting President to testify before a grand jury as a result of an investigation into his own personal conduct. Later that day, President Clinton appeared on national television where he admitted to inappropriately being involved in a relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Several days later the House of Representatives received the Starr report and released the first several hundred pages to the public. As a result of this report, Starr personally recommended impeaching Clinton on eleven grounds, which included perjury, obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and abuse of power. Based on the information from the Starr report, the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Clinton for allegedly lying under oath about his relationship with Lewinsky and also for obstructing the investigation of that…

Linda Tripp first discovered the scandal when she spoke with Monica Lewinsky, who told Tripp of her ongoing sexual relationship with the Bill Clinton. Tripp went onto investigate the situation by taping her and Monica's conversations during October of 1997 (Cohen 28-29). Lewinsky was later called into another Clinton sex scandal, the Paula Jones case. Lewinsky told Tripp over the phone before this, that she was going to deny everything and lie (Cohen 37). Lewinsky stating this to Linda created the assumption that Lewinsky was going to lie under oath in order to protect the president. Lewinsky was soon detained by Kenneth Starr and other FBI members for questioning at the same time Clinton was being questioned about Paula Jones (Cohen 47). Clinton several days later when questioned on Lewinsky stated “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.” (Cohen 56). This was highly similar to Nixon’s “I am not a crook” speech as it would be proven a…
