Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter” / Head vs. 
Heart : An 8 page paper examining the conflict of head versus 
heart in terms of the larger dichotomy of Romanticism versus
Realism in this classic work by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The
paper looks specifically at two passages: the description of
the eagle on the Custom House in the Introduction, and
Dimmesdale’s meeting with Hester in Chapter 17, to show
how Hawthorne’s innate romanticism is played out in his
writing, resulting in a preference of heart over head.
