Although novels are mainly fictional, their stories can be from real stories of real people, real societies and real issues. In the case of reflecting real life issues, the novels The Scarlet Letter and Uncle Tom’s Cabin will be analyzed in the study. Comparison between the two novels will also be undertaken specifically in terms of themes, characters, authors, values, settings and historical relevance. The study will start with the short biographies of both authors and some background information about the novels. Also included are the short summaries and comparative analysis that will explore the different pertinent points discussed in the two literary works. The Scarlet Letter was written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. He came from Massachusetts and born on July 4, 1804 (Meltzer 15). He was accustomed to live with his relatives from his mother side when his father died (Meltzer 22). His maternal relatives also paid for his education that allowed him to attend Bowdoin College where some of his classmates became prominent figures later on (Meltzer 29). Those famous classmates of his assisted him by providing him some jobs in the government that honed his skills as a writer. During his beginnings in the writing career, he used to copy the styles of famous writers but was not seen publicly as he withdrew those writing products. In terms of the prominent belief in his works, Hawthorne was greatly influenced by the Transcendentalist movement that promoted individualism. Ralph Waldo Emerson led the movement and influenced Hawthorne with the belief of a Utopian community that led to Transcendentalist ideals being included in the works of Hawthorne (Meltzer 105). With those ideals, Scarlet Letter was created. The writer of Uncle Tom’s Cabin is Harriet Beecher Stowe. She was born on June 14, 1811 to a popular religious leader named Lyman Beecher and she was the seventh child in the family of fifteen (Hedrick 6). Her career started as an instructor or teacher together with her sister named Catharine (Hedrick 63). She then started writing and published her first work about geography targeting children as readers (Hedrick 70). Later on she married Calvin Stowe, a widower (Hedrick 98) and they had seven children. In her lifetime, she was able to write books for children, books for travels, biography, poems and novels. One of her famous novels is Uncle Tom’s Cabin that reflected her ideals regarding the issue of slavery (Hedrick 235). The next portion will be dealing with the summaries of the two novels as they reveal their themes and intentions of the characters while uncovering and solving the problems and issues that may have been based from the real world. The Scarlet Letter set its story in the beginning of United States of America. It brought out the moral issues during that time. As Hawthorne believed in the ideals of the Puritans, he made the novel dramatize those in ways that the protagonists went against the norms. The novel then showed how the characters changed their weakness into positive parts of themselves as they became strong. The plot opened with a prologue entitled The Custom House that revealed how a fictional post worker found a document and made a story out of it. In the story, the scene opened with an adultery punishment for a woman named Hester Prynne who was carrying her baby named Pearl. As a punishment, she was put to jail and was interrogated publicly. She was also required by the townspeople to wear a Scarlet letter “A” to inform people of her crime as an adulterer. With that scene, she noticed her husband to be amongst the crowd while being in disguise. She never expected him to come that time as he was reported to be dead from a voyage beforehand.
