In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, the effects of different places on people’s behaviors are clearly illustrated. The Puritan society did not allow self-expression and because of that, many Puritans had to find alternate places to do this. The market-place was a civilized place that followed society’s rules never allowed self-expression. There was also the forest, a place that never had any rules or anything to conform to. When comparing the two places, Hawthorne uses the character Arthur Dimmesdale in the forest and the market-place to suggest how humans need a place of refuge to escape from the daily routine of society and open up and be true to themselves.
