Intro to essay
Introduction to my essay on Puritanism. Purpose is to say whether three characters conform or diverge from your idea of a Puritan.
Staunch religious supporters, true worshipers of the Sabbath, Puritans were both of these things and more. These men and women who were among the first to settle the land where the stars and stripes proudly wave brought with them from their old world an unwavering love for god. Each day was one of prayer, where the strictest rules were made to be followed to preserve their Christianity. Truthful, honest, god loving, these were what Puritans
were and still thought of today by many. Through novels that help many imagine what it is to be a Puritan, it is seen that not all step up the high morals and standards of an average Puritan, while others seem to be molded out of the prime example of a Puritan. These cases are John Proctor, Reverand Dimmesdale, and Edgar.
