Steinbeck vs. Hawthorne John Steinbeck\'s
John Steinbeck's Cannery Row and Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter show very similar views on the complexity of humanity but very different views on humanity in view of divinity. Steinbeck, a 20th-Century agnostic Californian who traveled freely and worked in several areas of California in several different occupations, was not at all concerned with institutional religious views of sin, guilt, alienation and redemption. However, Hawthorne was a 19th Century Puritan and recluse who infused his writing with Puritan views of sin, guilt, alienation and redemption. Though both authors are highly skilled and both believe in humanity's complexity, Steinbeck's book is a light, satirical examination of humanity while Hawthorne's book is a heavy and dark examination of humanity's depths.
