Descibe the style and language of The Scarlet Letter?

The Scarlet Letter has an incredibly unique style. Hawthorne uses key writing styles to convey the main themes in his novel: natural law vs. conventional law. Hester broke a conventional law, but she did not brake a natural law. Hawthorne's style is ambiguous at best. There are many passages in the novel that are left open to interpretation, making the Scarlet Letter romantic. Hawthorne asks many rhetorical questions throughout the passages, incorporating readers even more into the novel. Also, he has exceptional grammar usage, carefully placing multiple commas, elongating his already complex sentences. Hawthorne incorporated various sentence structures into his novel, like the parallel construction with correlative conjunctions. He places contradictory phrases throughout his sentences, creating a sense of mystery. He has an accelerated vocabulary usage, at times stopping the reader in his or her tracks to define the word. Hawthorne wrote this novel around 100 years after the time period that the novel takes place in, so readers would need some explanation on the culture. Hawthorne incorporates a unique narrator position, randomly having statements in the passage.Hawthorne also displays a strong use of symbols. In order to show the importance of such symbols, it is necessary to use many figures of speech. There are passages where Hawthorne will use personification to make nature come alive and heed to Pearl, Hester's daughter.Hawthorne's unique language makes him capable to pursue unique routes to enter the readers and mystify their minds.
