Question

Chapter 2 of the scarlet letter
What does this tell you about the puritan people?

"there appeared, in the first place, like a black shadow emerging into the sunshine, the grim and grisly presence of the town-beadle, with a sword by his side and his staff of office in his hand. This personage prefigured and represented in his aspect the whole dismal severity of the puritanic code of law"

Puritans = black shadow, grim, grisly, with a sword...

Not the kind of person you invite to a wedding or a birthday party.
