One day Crane was sent by a judge of Municipal Watch House of New York to Sleepy Hollow to investigate a case which already taken 3 death victims whose heads had been beheaded within 2 week. Crane was assigned to look for the murdener.
Arriving in Sleepy Hollow, Crane stayed in Mr.Baltus Van Tassel's house.
He was the richest man in Sleepy Hollow. He had a daughter named Katrina. Crane was making up his room when he was asked to see Mr.Van Tassel down stairs. There, Mr.Van Tassel introduced himti his associates who were the elders of Sleepy Hollow. The gentlements were Thomas Lancaster,a doctor; Steenwyck,a priest;Samuel Philipse,a judge and James Hardenbrook,a notaries. They told Crane about the Horseman .
“the victim was Peter Van Garret and his son Dirk Van Garret, the were beheaded by horseman. One week after Mrs.Winship died. The horseman took their heads with him. The horseman was a bounty soldier of Hessian ( Germany soldier) who was sent to Sleepy Hollow by Germany Prince to mountain British force over America. Unlike with other soldiers, he came with lots of money. Horseman came to Sleepy Hollow for his own reason, a reason to kill. He rode a big stallion named" Daredevil". In war, he liked to behead his enemies' heads from his speeding horse. He even sharpened his teeth in order to create his brutality. He did not die until 1779 in the west of Sleepy Hollow's forest. A group of soldier managed to kill him by beheading his head with his own sword. He resurrected from his death with rage and revenge to kill anyone who againsted him"
Crane didn't believe in Van Tassel story until Masbath was killed by the Horseman. After burying Masbath, Masbath's son became Crane's servant. While the were leaving the cemetery, Philipse told him thet Masbath was not the fourth, but the fifth victim. Crane was confused about the fourth victim. In the four graves lied five victims. Crane started his investigation by digging out Mrs.Winship's grave. After taking out the corpe, he was suspicious with a scar in her stomach. Crane surged her stomach and found that Mrs. Winship had been pregnant. The head of the fetus in her uterus also had been beheaded by the horseman.
There was also an occasion when Crane was haunted by false horseman. It was Brom Bones who disguised himself to be the Horseman. He was a man who felt in love with Katrina. One day, Crane saw Philipse went away after having a meeting with his associates. Crane asked Philipse once, about who was the father of Mrs.Winship's baby, he also asked him who had killed them. Philipse just told him that they were killed by the Horseman. Crane wouldn't want to believe him when the Horseman came and beheaded Philipse's head. Seeing that murderer, he was petrified. He told about it to Van Tassel and Katrina.
Crane and young Masbath were walking I the forest when they found a cave.in the cave, they met with a strange woman who told him to follow the tracks of an Indian at the sunset until the tree of death and climb to the Horseman's room in order to kill him. Soon after than Crane and young Masbath searced the tree of death. On their way, they met Katrina, then three of them continue the search of the tree of death. Finally they found it. Crane tried to cut a big root of the tree and blood came out from it. Crane kept trying to open the root until he got shocked for finding heads of the Horseman's victims. Crane climbed to the Horseman room. He was surprised because the skull had gone. Suddenly the Horseman arose, but he didn't kill Crane, Katrina nor young Masbath.
Crane followed the Horseman. He came to Elizabeth Kilian's house and beheaded Elizabeth's, Kilian's and their son Thomas's ead. When the Horseman was trying to leave, Brom Bones shot and tried to kill him. Crane stopped him for he knew that the Horseman didn't run after him, but he didn't want to listen to Crane. Finally Brom Bones got himself killed.
Crane was trying to solve the case when he concluded that there was a conspiracy among the doctor, notaries, judge and the priest. Crane visited Hardenbrook to ask about Van Garret's old testament. Young Masbath found it in a bag with an open seal. The old testament was for Mrs. Winship. young Masbath also found a marriage notification of Van Garret who secretly had married to Mrs.Winship.
Crane concluded that the horseman was Van Garret's family, that was Van Tassel who wanted to lake Van Garret's wealth, when Crane going into his room, he found Katrina was I it. I the next day, he lost the old testament he found in the notaries's house. The old testament was taken by Katrina and she burned it because she didn't want Crane accuse her father.
At one night, Crane followed Mrs.Van Tasel who was walking secretly to the forest. She meet Steenwyck and had love in the forest. Crane found them. She cut her hand with a knife then drop it to Steenwyck's back. She asked Crane not to tell it to his husband.

Soon after that, the Horseman came to the church, all people in the church was panic and worried. Van Tassel were quarelling with his three associates, they killed each other. Van Tassel finally was beheaded by the Horseman.
Katrina was shocked. When she was conscious, she saw her step mother, Mrs. Van Tassel. She was shocked and fainted again. Mrs.Van Tassel cut her hair then burned it. She tried to awaken the Horseman to kill Katrina. As Katrina was awakened from her faint, Mrs.Van Tassel told her that she wasn't killed by the Horseman, but the servant was. She told her that she was the one who controlled the Horseman.
Mrs.Van Tassel was the Archer's family. She, her parents and her sister lived not far away from Mr.Van Tassel's house. After her father death, they were asked to leave the house by Van Garret because he said that her mother was a witch. Then they lived in the west forest. Her mother passed away a year after their move. One day she and her sister saw Hessian and they saw him killed.

SUMMARY

Set in 1757 during the third year of the French and England War, the story begin as Cora and Alice Munro are being escorted to Fort William Henry where they will meet up with the commander of the fort, their father, Colonel Munro. The two women are accompanied by Major Duncan Heyward, a gallant young officer who soon falls in love with Alice. The small group is led by Magua, a mysterious and terrifying Huron, who suggests a "short-cut" that will lead them into an ambush he has prepared. The group are rescued from this fate when they run into Hawk-eye, a skilled woodsman also known as Natty Bumppo (his birth name). With him are his two Mohican friends, Chingachgook and his son, Uncas. Major Duncan tells Hawkeye and his friends about his growing distrust of Magua, and the newcomers agree. Hawkeye and his companions then attempt to seize the "treacherous savage," but the guide escapes into the forest.
Hawkeye predicts that Magua will be back, and fearing an attack by unfriendly Indians leads the group to Glenn's Falls. The group takes shelter in a warren of caves behind the waterfall and spends an uneasy night. The sound of horses screaming early in the morning alerts them to danger, and they find themselves under attack by a band of Iroquois. Cora, and Alice hide in the caves while the others plan a defense. Out in the forest Hawkeye, Duncan, Chingachgook, and Uncas engage in a bloody struggle with the Iroquois. They begin to run out of ammunition and prepare to die honorably. Cora begs them to go for help instead, so Hawkeye and the two Indians slip out down the river. Duncan stays to defend the girls, and they are all captured when a group of Hurons led by Magua enter the caves and uncover their hiding place.
Major Duncan attempts to trick Magua into releasing them, suggesting that . Colonel Munro will pay good money to have his daughters returned. It seems to be working, until Magua asks to speak to Cora alone and reveals his true motives. Driven by a mix of lust for her and hatred of her father, Magua wants to take Cora as his wife. This will be his revenge upon Colonel Munro, who has whipped him in public for being drunk. He promises Cora that if she consents he will free her beloved sister, but she refuses to comply. Enraged, Magua stirs up the Hurons into a fury of vengeful feelings, and the whole group attacks the prisoners and lashes them to trees. As they stand waiting to be burnt alive, Duncan breaks free and struggles with one of their captors. Just as he is about to be killed, Hawkeye and the two Mohicans arrive at the scene. The Hurons, terrified of Hawk Eye, and Alice, Cora, and Duncan are freed. Again, Magua manages to elude them.
The group continues toward Fort William Henry only to find it besieged by 10,000 French troops led by the Marquis de Montcalm. In thick fog, they make a mad dash for the fort and are rescued at the last minute. The girls are joyously reunited with their father, Colonel Munro. Duncan asks the Colonel for Alice's hand in marriage. In response, Munro reveals some of his past in order to ensure Duncan's commitment to his daughter.
The British await reinforcements from General Webb. De Montcalm intercepts a letter from Webb, and reveals to Munro and Duncan that no reinforcements are coming. Munro is to surrender the fort. The Marquis allows them to retain their military honor, and promises that they can leave the fort "unmolested." However, he neglects to arrange a troop escort for the defeated British, and as they leave the fort they are suddenly attacked by a group of 2,000 Indians. The British are massacred in the bloody attack, during which Magua recaptures Alice and Cora and takes them into the forest.
Munro, Duncan, Hawkeye, Chingachgook, and Uncas follow their trail north through the forest. When they arrived at Hurons Village, Duncan disguise as a doctor and Uncas watched closely from the other side. Uncas is captured, but using a cunning plan of swapped identities, Duncan and Hawkeye rescue both Uncas and Alice. They flee to safety with the Delaware, who free Cora when Uncas reveals that he is a chief and a Delaware descendant. The next day, Magua and his men come to the Delaware camp to demand the return of their captives. Tamenund, the Delaware chief, judges that Magua's desire to marry Cora makes his claim on her legitimate. Uncas vows that he and his friends will pursue them.
Followed by Hawkeye, the Mohicans, and a group of warriors, Magua and Cora set off for the Huron village. The two groups come into bloody conflict, and Uncas, Hawkeye, Duncan chase Magua and two warriors into a cave. Cora is as brave and strong-willed now as she has shown herself to be in earlier situations, and she refuses to move when her captors demand that she must. Attempting to force her, Magua threatens to kill her. His companions take him all too seriously, and another Huron advances to stab her to death. Desperately attempting to avert the tragedy, Uncas leaps into the fray from an overhanging ledge. He is too late to save Cora, and in the battle that follows he is killed by Magua, who is then shot by Hawkeye. The final chapter is one of sorrow for both the whites and the Indians. The bereft Munro returns to his territory with Duncan and Alice, who are now engaged. Hawkeye returns to the forest with Chingachgook. As the English leave, Hawkeye pledges eternal friendship with Chingachgook, the "Last of the Mohicans."

We are really enjoy it, more than any other aspects from this novel is about Nathaniel Hawthorne's way to picture the 17th century of Puritan's life in Boston. But then, we don't neglect that this novel is difficult enough to be understood since the language (the diction in this case) is so hard. Almost all the diction aren't in common English which we usually use but in old English one, for example: the using of thou for you, thy for yours etc.

Anyway, reading and analyzing this novel is quite fun and it is impossible for us to finish this paper without any other's help. So, in this chance, we would like to thanks to you all, who have helped us in composing this, for all the suggestion and for everything, thanks guys for being the helping hands, you all are such an angel.

A. Summary

In the beginning of the story, Hester Prynne, a young women, with her three months old baby in her arms, were led from the town prison through market place to the scaffold where she was publicly shamed. She wore scarlet letter A on the breast of her gown, in fine red cloth, surrounded with an elaborate embroidery and fantastic flourished of gold thread. The scarlet letter A represented the act of adultery that she committed which led to the birth of her baby, Pearl. The scarlet letter was a badge of shame, a symbol of sin that had to be worn all the times as a punishment for her adultery. At the scaffold, she was forced by the magistrates ­Governor Bellingham, Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale and Reverend John Wilson - to reveal the father of Pearl. But, Hester insisted not to reveal the name of her lover.

At that time, she met her husband, Roger Prynne who just arrived in Boston after his long dwelt in Amsterdam. Roger swore that he would find the person who committed adultery with her and took revenge with him. But, there were no one in Boston who knew that Roger was Hester's husband since Roger Prynne changed his name into Roger Chillingworth. He also forced Hester to keep his identity as a secret to make his revenge easier. Then, Roger earned a reputation as a Physician or Doctor and stayed in the same house with Arthur Dimmesdale.

Seven years passed, Roger became Arthur's doctor since Arthur's health was getting worse. Arthur suffered from mysterious heart trouble that seemingly caused by psychological distress and someday, Roger accidentally found that the person whom he looked for was Arthur Dimmesdale when he discovered an A imprinted in Arthur's chest! A very pious clergymen that seemed impossible to do a such kind of adultery with Roger's wife. But then, ya ... Arthur was the person!

To protect her lover from any kinds of Roger's bad treatment, Hester arranged an encounter with Arthur in the forest. Then, she revealed that Roger was her husband to Arthur.

Surprisingly knew that Roger was Hester's husband, Arthur then agreed to go away from Boston to Europe by ship 4 days later with Hester and Pearl, their daughter, and started a new life as a family.

But, the day before the ship sailed was a public holiday, when Arthur delivered his sermon in front of the townspeople. After finishing his sermon, Arthur walked to the scaffold and stood there beside Hester and Pearl. At that time, he revealed who he was and showed the letter A that burned in his chest. He told that he was a sinner, like Hester, and he was the real father of Pearl. He also confessed that he should stand there seven years earlier with Hester, when she was firstly publicly shamed. He fell dead just after Pearl kissed him.

Frustrated in his revenge, Roger died a year later. Pearl inherited all Roger's wealth since Roger wanted so even though she wasn't his daughter. After it, Hester and Pearl left Boston. Hester came back several years later, still wearing the scarlet letter in her bosom until she dead and buried in the site of King's Chapel. But, Pearl never returned to Boston, she stayed in Europe, got married and lived happily with her family.

B. Analysis

1. Theme : The theme of this novel is about Sin, Guilt (whether it is public guilt or private guilt) and punishment.

Committing adultery in Puritans was called as sin that could make the execution of both the sinners happened. But then, the parameter of the sin itself is difficult enough to explain. Was it a sin -that had to lead the sinners to be executed - if the adultery really had no impact upon the lives of society? And which was exactly a sin, marrying a person with no love or loving someone and committing adultery when her husband was out nowhere? Well, it is difficult we thought to make a justification about sin.

In this novel, Hawthorne illustrated the differences between shaming the sinner in public and allowing the sinner to suffer the consequences of the adultery privately. We thought that private guilt which led to emotional destruction and psychological distress were more than enough punishment for the adultery, just like what Arthur's got.

For Hester Prynne, the scarlet letter and Pearl -the product of adultery ­were a symbol and reminder for her that daily taught her to make her Pearl to be the wiser and better than her.

For Arthur Dimmesdale, his private guilt made him more sympathy and understood another sinners. It also made him more powerful to deliver his sermon since it came from the deepest sinful and regretful heart.
