Page 141 “No man knows till he experiences it, what it is like to feel his own life-blood drawn away into the woman he loves.” Annotation #4 This quote is important since it shows the readers that Dr. Seward, even though was rejected by Lucy, truly did love her since he gave so much of his blood to her.

All of her habits reveal how observant she is to the point of obsession. At the same time, Dahl intends for Mary’s name to be interpreted allegorically as ‘Mary Magdalene’; the embodiment of innocence and Christian devotion.

In fact, because of this, people started to change their interpretation of the scarlet letter from its original meaning. “They said that it meant ‘Able’, so strong was Hester Prynne, with a woman’s strength”(Hawthorne, 158).
