After graduating from Bowdoin College, Hawthorne lived in Salem, Concord, and Pittsfield Massachusetts then later, as American consul in Liverpool, England. For his final Concord years, Hawthorne resided at ‘Wayside’ in a neighborhood that included Emerson, Thoreau, the Alcotts and other transcendental writers. Chapter 2 Writing & Working: Even though writing was his personal and professional passion; Hawthorne had to work in various occupations to supplement his meager manuscript royalties. From his working experiences in the Boston and Salem Custom Houses, as well as Brook Farm- a transcendental community in West Roxbury, Massachusetts - Hawthorne developed plots for the Scarlet Letter, Blithedale Romance, several tales and short stories. Chapter 3 Fictional Historical Characters: Several Hawthorne stories are based upon his 17th century ancestral colonial connections. In particular was his puritanical family lineage fraught with the persecution of Quakers and ‘witches’ that provided a dilemma for his fictional characters. Major characters discussed in detail include: Hester Prynne, Arthur Dimmesdale, Roger Chillinsworth, Ethan Brand and Young Goodman Brown.
