The author fancys very strange the fact that being a critic of Puritanism, Nathaniel Hawthorn turns our attentions to Winthrops ideas of charity (Holland 1). harmonise to Holland, The Scarlet Letter testifies that Hawthorne was not at the Puritans side and did not consider their values to be even out.Since Winthrop is generally connected with the origin and propagation of Puritan ideas, it is not possible that Hawthorne could not consider him to be deserved an honor. Notwithstanding that Winthrops own use of ideology of Christian love can influence Hawthornes attitude positively, this cant overshadow the excessively cruel social arrangement Winthrop created (Holland 12).
