The House of Seven Gables:
Domestic Ideology
Hawthorne?s novel is full of prime examples pertaining to domestic ideology. In Hawthorne?s novel we stumble upon a certain kind of domestic ideology specifically engineered for this novel. Instead of having a majority of good examples of domestic ideology we receive the flip side. We are introduced to what we can call the Pyncheon version of domestic ideology. This version of ideology revolves around the male side of the family predominantly. This form of domestic ideology consists of a no holds barred route in which to achieve victory. This particular way of going about things comes with a price, a hefty price. To better understand the notion of the Pyncheon version of domestic ideology and how it applies to both sexes one must look towards the text.
