The Strength of a Tenacious Woman
People often play a crucial role in each others lives, which might not seem significant at the time. It might be a word, phrase, or statement which may seem insignificant, but a single action can change the course of a person's life. Everyone grows and develops a network in society, and these systems aid in allowing a person to become who they are. Similarly, throughout many works of literature, a novel’s minor characters support the main character rather significantly. These minor characters incorporate a key element from which the main character comes to be. The method in which they help the main character frequently varies due to the time and era of which the work takes place in. The Neo-Classicism era, also known as the restoration period, was a reaction against the Renaissance era. The Renaissance era was believed to be unsystematic, and humans had no rules in society. In the restoration period, literature was meant to be didactic. It was supposed to be teaching a moral value and preaching about living life properly. It pointed out the wrongdoings of society, from which came the Neo-Classicism era. Many works of literature came about in this era. Nathaniel Hawthorne, in his satirical novel The Scarlet Letter, presents a heroine ahead of her time through her struggles with her ostracization for having an illegitimate child, her abusive former husband, and her forbidden love affair with the Reverend—thus becoming ultimately stronger, despite her punitive society's attempt to break her.
