TSL 4.3

TSL 4.3
Do now: Which character do you like the best?  Why?

Objective:
  • analyze Hawthorne’s use of characterization
  • analyze hope as a human emotion

Agenda:
  1. do now
  2. Vocab Quiz
  3. Chapter 20: Unlike at any other point in the novel, Dimmesdale begins chapter 20 feeling hopeful.  As a result, his character actually changes here from what it has heretofore seemed to be.  Perhaps Hawthorne intended, therefore, for this chapter to demonstrate something that he believed about hope as a human emotion or thought, as well as the effect of its presence on people’s action.  Where and how in this chapter do you see the impactful effect of hope on Dimmesdale’s dynamic characterization?  
  4. In groups: draft an assertion statement about your findings from above
  5. Summarizer

HW: Reading assignment #7 (end of the novel!)
