For my third paper, I will be talking of the relationship between Nathaniel Hawthorne's book The House of The Seven Gables and the poem "A Dialogue of Self and Soul" by William Butler Yeats. In the paper I will be describing the social form the burden of history through Hawthorne's use of the Gothic framework and Yeats' utilization of internal speculation about his life. Yeats and Hawthorne both speak of the darkness in one's soul and how the past can come back to haunt the present, as well as how reminiscing can cause pain or pleasure.
Thesis statement: The burden that history places upon one can cause those it affected to relive the mistakes, achievements, pains, and pleasures of the past.
