  2. USING EVIDENCE: 1. Share your point Hawthorne’s use of setting achieves a dreary mood in the beginning of The Scarlet Letter.

  3. USING EVIDENCE: 2. Introduce a quotation 3. Cite the quotation We see this when Hawthorne describes the jail of the town as being “already marked with weather-stains and other indications of age, which gave a yet darker aspect to its…gloomy front” (36).

  4. USING EVIDENCE: 4. Analyze (explain by breaking apart) the quotation By calling attention to the stains of age on this building, Hawthorne effectively reminds us of our own fatality; we, too, become weather-stained as time goes by. Hawthorne shares that these stains make the “gloomy” front even “darker,” implying that there are even worse characteristics than just this aged look (36). Using such depressing diction serves to further project this reminder of humanity’s vulnerability, immediately saddening the reader.

  5. USING EVIDENCE: 5. Bring it back to your point again This saddening through diction and reminders of our own aging nature brings about the dreary mood, which the reader can infer will pervade through the entire novel, burning at the back of the mind just as the looming assurance that we all will grow old.
