RISE TO FAME

Hawthorne became a famous

and well known writer when

he wrote “The Scarlet Letter”

It was a story based on a

woman who had a child out of

wedlock and is considered to

have committed adultery and

is forced to wear a red letter A

on all of her clothing

DR. HEIDEGGER’S EXPERIMENT

An old man invites four of his friends over for dinner and asks

them if they want to partake in an experiment he is conducting

He tells them it involves the Fountain of Youth

He then proves this to them by throwing a 50 year old rose

into the jar of water, while the friends watch it bloom

The 3 men and one woman agree to the experiment and drink

3 glasses of water

They slowly grow younger

Page 7: Nathaniel Hawthorne

DR. HEIDEGGER’S EXPERIMENT

As they do, the men begin to fight for the attention

of the young woman

They end up knocking the glass over, spilling its

contents which in turn makes them grow old again

Greed takes the friends to Florida searching for

more of the water while the Doctor sits casually by,

realizing that you should not mess with fate

FACTS

One of his stories was based on him finding a little girl

drown in the pond in his back yard by her own mother

His last name was originally spelled “Hathorne.” He

changed it after graduating from college so that the

spelling would more closely match the pronunciation.

His good friend, Herman Melville dedicated his novel

Moby Dick to Hawthorne .
