Prediction

The Scarlet Letter is a book that starts off as slow ans humanly possible. It retains this excitement throughout most of the book even through this huge barrier I can still see where the story is going. My prediction could be spot on or way off. It just depends on the events that occur. This barrier still got in my way and I gave up and stopped reading. 

Hester the main character is kind of unpredictable in the way she acts. You can think that she is going to do one thing but she ends up doing something entirely different. This makes the prediction harder to make but also makes the character more complex. I also have to take into account the other character's feelings. For example Chillingworth is furious because he lost his wife and is now lonely. He isn't mad at Hester but the one she had the affair with. Then there is Dimmesdale who wants to take Pearl away from Hester because she is an unfit parent.

I believe that Hester will eventually release the name of her lover and his identity will be revealed. This action will cause Chillingworth to lose his temper and murder the lover to try and win back Hester. Hester, seeing what has been done will not want to get back with Chillingworth and will move to England with her daughter Pearl. 

The reason for me making making this was the envy Chillingworth had for the lover. He wanted the love Hester once had for him. This envy is a very common motive in books and stories alike. An example of this jealousy is in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves the classic children movie. In the movie it shows the Dark Queen's envy for Snow White which is then turned into a obsession to kill her.
