Many remember The Scarlet Letter as required reading for reluctant sixteen year olds. The unnamed, elusive narrator of Hawthorne's 'tale of human frailty and sorrow' issome readers might say maddeninglyindirect, ambiguous, and inconsistent. Readers who hope to arrive at satisfying judgments about the book's four iconic charactersHester, Arthur, Roger, and Pearlare often left to arrive at their conclusions by guess and inference. The narrator provides what seems to be willfully incomplete information. His point of view shifts from one moral or historical perspective to another without announcement or apology. Reading Like a Serpent invites readers to reconsider this American classic as Hawthorne's challenge to the American public to become more generous, versatile, and responsible readersespecially of the Bible, a book Hawthorne hoped to rescue from moralistic literalists and legalists, reminding us that 'the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life'
