7. Student Model (Analysis) Student Model
The setting of the novel itself seems as if it will play a large role in developing the outcome of the characters and their emotions. Hawthorne’s descriptive imagery sets up a distinct tone of impending doom and fear. Describing the prison as ornamented by “spikes” seems symbolic of pain and torture.

Student Model
(Quoted Evidence)
