The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry are two quite similar novels, due to their authors' use of style and actions of the characters. , and adjustment. Their techniques contribute to the conflict and overall effect through an exploration of the theme of guilt and blame. Although the stories seem different, there are nevertheless some similarities between the two while retaining the themes of guilt and/or blame present in either novel. In The Scarlet Letter and The Little Prince, the two authors Saint-Exupéry and Hawthorne have a similar style. which uses symbolism throughout the novels to make guilt and blame contribute to the overall effect of both works. In The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne shows the theme of guilt by using a meteor as a symbol. The meteor traces a red "A" in the sky, which would implicate Dimmesdale, the adulterer and antagonist of this novel. He is the town reverend but he harbors guilt within him. His guilt over letting Hester Prynne, our main character and adulterer alone, get trapped eats away at him. He abuses himself physically and psychologically and even marks an A on his chest, but all this remains a secret. A meteor traces an A in the sky and is a symbol of his guilt “which the guilt of another might have seen as another symbol” (Hawthorne p. 152). Although his guilt makes it seem like a meteor was pointing at him, the rest of the townspeople seem to think that the "A" stood for angel, which made him ironic and thus using his guilt and leading to even more conflict. In The Little Prince, one of the protagonists, the narrator also has the weight of a certain guilt on his heart. The narrator has a drawing from his childhood of a boa constricto...... in the middle of a paper ......ve in common is the common theme of narrow-mindedness. In The Little Prince, many characters other than the “big ones” that the Little Prince meets during his adventure are very narrow-minded and only care about counting and have no imagination. In The Scarlet Letter, the theme of narrow-mindedness is also constant among Hester Prynne's accusers and accusers. Even though she committed a sin, the Puritan authoritarian system remains very narrow-minded in its way of ordering. Framing her and blaming her for everything won't do anything, while taunting her and isolating her on a scaffold doesn't seem to do much either. Although the ideas and themes of the two stories have many similar aspects, there are still some differences and the style techniques, character actions, and setting contribute to the conflict and overall effect..
