Team Edgar/Nathaniel
I am most certainly team Edgar. The Scarlet Letter was horrible. I did not like the book what so ever. Not only was it challenging to understand, but in Old English, and thus incredibly annoying to read. Poe, although was challenging to understand too, made his points clearer in short novels. He could have written a book like Hawthorne, but personally, I would have liked to see Hawthorne write a short 20 page story instead of a book. Edgar's stories are brief, and to the point. They don't beat around topics like Hawthorne's work. What it really came down to in the end, was the lesser of two evils. I did not mind Poe, but absolutly hated The Scarlet Letter. And that is why I am Team Poe!

How about Hawthorne's short stories? Aren't you comparing apples and oranges here?
