hawthorne # 8 to be graded

While reading Hawthorne's stories quiet a few aspects of " Rappaccinis daughter" and " The Artist of the Beautiful " can be compared to each other. One that particularly caught my attention was the characters. First we can compare Annie and Beatrice, both of who were beautiful and young. Both women were love interest in both stories. In "Rappaccinis daughter" and in "Artist of the Beautiful", the relationships the women were in did not prosper due to no fault of their own.
Two other important characters that can be compared are Rappaccini who is the father of Beatrice, and Peter Hovenden who is the father of Annie. Rappaccini favors science over people and makes his daughter poisonous. I don't think he is much of a people person. Peter Hovenden is also a older man who is hard to deal with and is unliked by his apprentice. Both of these stories have a lot in common and can be easily compared.
