  Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804 -1864)
  
• 
  Nathaniel Hawthorne was a novelist and short story writer. Hawthorne’s works have been labelled ‘dark romanticism,’ dominated as they are by cautionary tales that suggest that guilt, sin, and evil are the most inherent natural qualities of humankind. His novels and stories, set in a past New England, are versions of historical fiction used as a vehicle to express themes of ancestral sin, guilt and retribution.
  

Although his natural inclination was to express himself through the short story form, he is best known for his novels, and particularly his most famous, The Scarlet Letter, a romance in an historical setting – puritan Boston, Massachusetts, in the 17th century. It is the story of the unfortunate Hester Prynne, who gives birth to a child as a result of an affair with a preacher, and struggles to create a new life of repentance. The novel explores the themes of sin, guilt and legalism. D.H. Lawrence wrote that there could be no more perfect work of the American imagination

Geoffrey Chaucer is considered by many to be the Father of English Literature and the greatest poet of the Middle Ages. Born around 1343, he’s most famous for The Canterbury Tales, a series of stories (mostly in verse) based around a group of pilgrims travelling to the shrine of Thomas Becket. The pilgrims have a story-telling competition, resulting in each of the tales being called by the character telling them – The Knight’s Tale, The Miller’s Tale, and so on. Chaucer was instrumental in developing the use of the vernacular Middle English, during aperiod when most works of literature were being written in Latin or French.

Conclusion ,

After reading both works, I realized that both writers tried to portray the lives of your heroes vividly. Reading this work, I've understood that It clearly explains the personality of the narrator. We can or try to understand the actions of the narrator, we know his feelings. It gives us more clear idea of ​​the main character, of its essence. The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Alln Poe is a detective work, which makes the reader a little nervous.0
