Read the following passage from an analysis essay's body:

nathaniel hawthorne's the scarlet letter is about a woman who had an affair during puritan times. herman melville's moby-wingspan is about an obsessed sea captain's pursuit of a whale who once injured him. the main character of hawthorne's book goes through deep psychological turmoil. the whale in moby-wingspan represents nature's power. what is the primary weakness of this passage?

The weakness of this passage is that it fails to make a strong claim. The passage describes a couple of characteristics of The Scarlet Letter, as well as a couple of characteristics of Moby Dck. However, it does not clearly explain what these passages have in common, why they are being compared, or what the author is trying to show. Without a claim, the readers cannot understand what the passage is trying to demonstrate and therefore, are not likely to continue reading it.
