Using Short Quotes

Eg. The small run down wooden prison where Hester is kept at the beginning of the novel is meticulously described with a series of words with negative connotations. Words such as “gloomy”, “ugly”, “rust” and “weather-[stained]” help create a bleak setting and a foreboding atmosphere in the novel’s opening chapter (Hawthorne 33).   However, the narration also notes that the “fragile beauty” of a fully in bloom rose bush thrives  in this rough and unkempt setting (33). The fact that “delicate gems” like roses can survive in such a harsh and ugly environment conveys the sense that Hester too can retain her dignity and beauty despite being imprisoned in  such a dismal and depressing structure (33).
