Hawthorne's "Ethan Brand"

An important key to Hawthorne's tale "Ethan Brand," the subject of this Monday's discussion, is  Brand's relationship to the various people in his sleepy village in the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts. See the "concept map" below. It will serve as a step-off point when we get together for our discussion of Brand's quest to know the "Unpardonable Sin." 

A Concept Map of the story.  Ethan Brand has relationships with these characters (who seemingly have no relations with each other apart from their connection to the
 village "network," through Brand).
