N2  - The article focuses on the importance of place and how it informs the narrative in The ScarletLetter. Each major place is considered: the town, the governor’s mansion, and the forest. Examining thecharacters of the novel and their response to nature and culture shows how they identify and react to theirmoral identity. The juxtaposition of characters like Pearl, Hester Prynne, Dimmesdale, Mr. Wilson, andtheir varied surroundings offers unique critical study. By looking at how we respond to place, we can cometo a greater understanding of the contrast and comparison of nature versus culture and ultimately how wedefine each.
