67. The Scarlet Letter & The House of the Seven Gables

Book reports are due! Did Sarah and Jeffrey do their homework? Absolutely. Join us as Sarah covers Hawthorne's first major novel The Scarlet Letter and Jeffrey covers The House of the Seven Gables. Let's talk about Hester Prynn, adultery, and puritanical laws; how people are burdened by the past and how the sins of the father are the problems we must deal with in the present. Both of these books, written over a century and a half ago, still have resounding themes even today.
