The present paper explores the concept of confession and its genealogical development as articulated by Michel Foucault’s work and portrayed in both Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter and Roth’s Indignation. By comparing and contrasting confessional practices in the selected novels, this study aims to highlight how the distinct definitions and functions assigned to confession exist within both religious and secular contexts. In particular, this analysis seeks to shed light on how religious confession rites have evolved into an important technology for knowledge production and, ultimately, the exercise of power in the secular age. This study eventually demonstrates the importance of the protagonists’ social and cultural understanding of confession, as well as the way these understandings shape both Hester’s and Marcus’s experience with it. |
