The Scarlet Letter 6

The hundreds of pages in a typical novel come together to form an intricate web, whose many strands may be united in the minds of readers to form infinitely different interpretations. In many cases, the authors' representation of their pet issues or most relevant commentaries are depicted by the style of rhetoric.

Hester and Dimmesdale, after seven long years, have been unable to discuss matters freely. At first, they are both ill at ease, so they put off talking about what is really on their minds, as they attempt casual conversation. ("When they found the voice to speak...it was...about the gloomy sky, the threatening storm..." line 19-20). Hawthorne's diction sets a dismal tone. i.e. "gloomy... threatening."

Metaphors and similes abound this passage each establishing a visual effect in the mind of the reader. Hawthorne implies that they [Hester and Dimmesdal
