Nathaniel Hawthorne was successful in writing a novel that accentuated sin and guilt interchangeably, while revealing to the readers the consequences of living with sin as a guideline. The letter A proved to be the primary focus because it had direct influence on every person in the novel. His characters lived interchangeable but distinct lives with different joys, loves, sins, and morals. Arthur begins to feel that if he co ...
... However, this voyage would not be his last. Melville decided to join the crew of a whaling ship named the Acushnet. But Melville did not like his treatment on board this vessel, and would soon abandon them at an island of the Marquesas with another member of the crew.
