The element of punishment in Dante's Inferno as compared with and contrasted to Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is made markedly different by virtue of their respective eras. That Dante's second circle places infidelity in such an inconsequential atmosphere speaks to the fact that he looked upon sexual pleasures as being interwoven with love, a very powerful entity that possessed a great deal of influence over the writer. Dante was significantly more forgiving of such indiscretions than the characters in Hawthorne's story, inasmuch as Minos takes pity upon a swirling mass of two souls who tell him of their true love for each other, admitting that this love was at the expense of another person. The townspeople in The Scarlet Letter, however, have no tolerance whatsoever with regard to infidelity and make their disapproval known in a considerably obvious and humiliating manner. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
