Symbol and Interpretation in Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
To conclude this study, I would like to insist on the idea that the multiplication of interpretations of the "mystic symbol" constitutes the best proof of its nature as a symbol: the various readings proposed by critics over the years keep enlivening this "old rag," and its vital force, more than a century and a half after its creation, seems as strong as ever.

The oral exam

The preparation time is 30 minutes and the oral time is 30 minutes. The candidate is given a passage (35-40 lines) from one of the works studied in depth on which he or she makes a 10 minute detailed presentation.

Then they relate the text to other works studied (5 minutes). Then a more general discussion begins discussing other works studied in the program in the Terminale year (15 minutes). Approximately three or four works from the program should be selected by the examiner to evoke responses of some depth from the candidate.

The candidate is allowed access only to the book containing the passage.

Giving an oral presentation means commenting on such aspects as: meaning, themes, characters and relationships, point of view, diction, images, metaphors, symbols, stylistic devices.

Examiners give credit for what the pupil knows, understands and can express well, rather than detecting and penalizing areas of ignorance.

Candidates who score between 8 and 10 for the total Baccalauréat are entitled to a second oral examination in two subjects. They may choose an OIB subject. In literature this will be a conversation involving most or all the works studied.

Part 2: Two passages are given, one of previously unseen poetry and one of previously unseen prose. Note that the prose excerpt is not necessarily from a work of prose fiction; it could come from travel writing, letters, diaries or essays.
