Foils are characters authors juxtapose in order to highlight a similarity or difference which is then integral to the theme. (ie. juxtaposing Beast's treatment of Belle (respecting her and giving her a library) and Gaston's treatment of her (mocking her reading and liking books) highlight's the lesson the a person should be defined by their heart and actions rather than by their appearance) Taking what is offered in chapter 9 and 10, by the time you arrive at my door on THURSDAY, 9/21, have the following:

Khan Academy Instructions If you are in period four, please post your comment about TWO of the characters as a comment below.
Hester—Pay attention to the details, imagery and figurative language used to introduce the character. 1. One to three words that describe Hester: 2. One example of direct characterization (when the author simply states how a character is) 3. Two or three textual examples of INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION (when the author reveals the character through): Their appearance (think symbolically here: how do clothes mirror the interior of the character?) b. Their inner thoughts and feelings c. Their actions (remember that an action can determine truth or fallacy) d. Their words (same as actions-can be purposely false which tells us something) e. How others speak about and respond to them 4. Write a theme statement: Given how Hawthorne characterizes Hester, what might he be trying to say about women? Their roles? How society thinks about them? Treats them? Expectations of them? (This should be proven by the text and characterization you offered) Chillingworth—Pay attention to the details, imagery and figurative language used to introduce the character. 1. One to three words that describe Chillingworth: 2. One example of direct characterization (when the author simply states how a character is) 3.

Their inner thoughts and feelings c. Their actions (remember that an action can determine truth or fallacy) d. Their words (same as actions-can be purposely false which tells us something) e. How others speak about and respond to them 4. Write a theme statement: Given how Hawthorne characterizes Chillingworth, what might he be trying to say about man’s pursuit of knowledge/truth/revenge? The physical effects? The effects on a marriage? (This should be proven by the text and characterization you offered) Dimmesdale—Pay attention to the details, imagery and figurative language used to introduce the character. 1. One to three words that describe Dimmesdale: 2. One example of direct characterization (when the author simply states how a character is) 3. Two or three textual examples of INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION (when the author reveals the character through): Their appearance (think symbolically here: how do clothes mirror the interior of the character?) b. Their inner thoughts and feelings c. Their actions (remember that an action can determine truth or fallacy) d. Their words (same as actions-can be purposely false which tells us something) e. How others speak about and respond to them 4. Write a theme statement: Given how Hawthorne characterizes Dimmesdale, what might he be trying to say about the dichotomy of man, the existence of both good and evil? Given the stern Puritan environment, what might Hawthorne be suggesting about the effects of religious authority on an individual’s mindset. This should be proven by the text and characterization you offered) If you are in period two, please post your comment about TWO of the characters as a comment below.
