Essay on the scarlet lyrics

The film The Scarlet lyrics are based on Nathaniel Hawthorne’s homonymous novel, whose work published in 1850, is considered a summit, the film is set in New England in the early seventeenth century, and tells the story of Hester Primen, a woman whoShe was accused of adultery and condemned to take the letter “ to ” of adultera, in her chest.They prevail when getting pregnant, he refuses to reveal the identity of his daughter’s father, and tries to live with dignity in what she considers an unfair and hypocritical society, in the film issues such as legalism, sin and guilt are made.

Analyzing the film from a legal perspective, specifically from the point of view of contemporary law, this sanctioning measure is an inhuman way to execute the ius puniendi, translated as the right to penalillegitimate punish a person, explicitly exclaiming the rejection, marginalization of society, psychological humiliation and personal degradation, this type of violent sanction against the human right to human dignity.

As in the film that rejection and marginalization of society, which originates from carrying a letter “ a ”, as punishment for a crime, at present, which suggestive “ a ”, loading an electronic bracelet inThe ankle, as a precautionary measure, announces a stigma, and encourages someone to infamous, and marks a footprint that breaks human self-determination. Considering that this measure manifests the events of a theory of label and stigma, in which the anguish, fear and revenge are partakers, poured into an electronic bracelet, or as Hawthorne Illustro, in a scarlet letter.

At personal discretion I consider that this measure is insufficient, it does not face the core problem, which is infrastructural and systematic, and in the same way as in the film, it uses sanctioning systems, in our case, the criminal system as an institutionalized social control, through the placement of labels.

The theory of label and stigma are related to the positive school of criminal law, whose founder Cesar Lombroso, in their theories about the offender, evidences a particular aspect as the conception of crime as a product of innate tendencies, observable inCertain physical or physiognomic features, thus creating stigmas, and labels through description such as SimiScos features, which include particular characteristics in what he considers to born criminals.

As well as in the film, in our reality, stigmas and labels generate discrimination and mark stereotypes, creating distinctions that directly affect . to the full exercise of fundamental rights.
