He does! That’s freaking me out.. o_O!
Woah, that is trippy!
Now that is hilarious. LOL.
Holy crap, now that is a win in both scary lookalikedness and obscurity.
I’m impressed!
Wow. I don’t know what else to say. Just wow.
I believe Hester is technically an adulTRESS.
Why the redundant, sexist -ess??? A female doctor is not a doctress, likewise there aren’t teachresses or lawyeresses. So why the need to point out gender here, Hmm? You adult, you adult – no need for gender specifics.
Hey lassie, don’t get your panties in a bunch. Pffft! Iknow how to make you loosen up babe!
One of you is a grammar geek, the other is a progressive geek. Agree to differ and then chill out.
vr0n, i couldn’t agree more.
Actually, the term “doctress” was used in the 19th C. when women first were admitted to practice medicine (and get univeristy degrees.) As late as the 1980s, a Canadian woman specifically asked that her diploma say “Mistress of Arts”, rather than “Master.” (Her subject was Semantics, and she was quoted as saying that what words meant was her special subject, and she felt that she wasn’t a “master” of anything.)
While you’re correct in that there aren’t feminine designations for “Dr.”, “teacher,” or “lawyer,” the English language does specify a name for a female who commits adultery, and that IS “adultress”.
I think Hester Prynne looks more like Winona Ryder!
There is one slight differecne: She’s more of a man that Elijah will ever be.
Yes, but he’s more of a Hobbit…
wahahahaaaa! loving that.
One, a sexy hobbitt. The other, a sex crazed Puritan. I think they will go down in history as the greatest fictional characters ever to be compared online.
I’d do either…
Hester was not “sex crazed”. She had affair with someone when her husband was presumed to be dead. She didn’t go out and do it with everyone.
Haha I definatley agree with you!
I <3 Elijah Wood!
what are you talking about?? elijah is way more of a man then that gay guy on the left, elijah is awesome so dont cross that line with me…if u are a man then you way less of one then elijah
technically, she’d have to be married to be an adultress. only MARRIED people can commit adultery, not people who have sex with married people… why is that so difficult to understand….
please go re-read the book.. she was married…
yeah…and the father was a priest, so…
If she were unmarried, she’d be a fornicator. Or would that be a fornicatrix?
hee hee! i vote for fornicatrix.
Thanks for your vote! With your help our site just became the number one adult site on the web!
well well..no you dont.
if you actually read the book, you’d know that she was married to Roger Chillingworth, who was the stranger in the crowd at the beginning of the book.
Actually, the bible says any one who has sex with someone who is not their spouse is an adulterer. Doesn’t mean you have to be married. And…Hester was married
punkin, I am married. You need to read Mr. Hawthorne’s book.
lol this one is great!
Haha, wow! The only difference is that Elijah looks cute.
What are you, 12?
It would be more correct to say he looks like Hester Prynne from the painting “The Scarlet Letter” by Hugues Merle. The artist is clearly named on the back cover of that particular edition of the book.
It would also be correct to say that we all got the point without the excessive nitpicking.
Thank you Annegret! I completely agree and appreciate you pointing this out. It’s damn hard for an actual person to really look like a character in a book written in our time, let alone one written approximately 150 years ago… Only the author *really* knows what they look like anyhow. But it is pretty awesome that Elijah Wood looks like that painting, especially since they’re different sexes….
Actually Hester Prynne WAS married- but her husband was abroad and the baby wasn’t his. And “adultery” is defined as the act of a married man or woman sleeping with another person. “Adulterer” is defined as one who commits adultery- so it’s really up to your conscience whether both parties are guilty of adultery or just the one who broke the contract of marriage.

Dude looks like a Lady.
Lady looks like a dude.
Touché
That is really creepy. It’s like something from a Steven King novel
XD I am laughing so hard right now.
woah! he DOES! that’s creepy.
Damn Hester Prynne is an unfortunate looking puritan.
Actually, I think she’s kinda hot. So, ; P !
Holy crap! It’s a consieracy! :O
ConsPiracy… pardon me, I’m from Sweden. ^^
That’s a woman??
I hated that freaking book. D:
Which one? Scarlet Letter or LOTR?
? there was no reference to LotR
the only book actually mentioned is the scarlet letter…
elijah wood is in lotr…
hes frodo
no, he is frodo in the movies…. not the books. Fail.
I just read that book so I got an especially big laugh from that! XD The resemblance is ridiculous!
I suppose Elijah Woods rejected the role of Hester Pryyne for the remake, so they had to cast Demi Moore.
Is he the illegitimate child!?!
Doesn’t matter.. He is still Sexy!!!
Wood is a descendant of Pryne
It’s his MOM.
no no oyu don’t..
if you actually read the book you’d know that Hester was married to Roger Chillingworth, who was the physician.
Ha Ha! He looks like a girl! What a wuss.
they dont look anything alike . elijah is a cutie ;D
i have a friend that looks like elijahs twin…its amazing
omg that is freaky. its awesome maybe he doesn’t know he has a twin brother lol jk. but awesome
nice!
elijah is a cute hobit :3
ahh! at first i were annoyed, and now i can see it looks incredibally funny!
Elijah is so sexy it hurts lol x
well done for spotting this lmfao! x
just the eyes.
I also think that johnny depp dressed as the mad hatter in the new alice in wonderland and elijah look alot alike.
This is incredible. Their specific features are nearly identical. Especially considering she was a fictictious character drawn 160 years ago! Look at the brow line and pinching of the skin above. They have identical lip shape & nose design, face shape, expression, coloring, and depth of emotional angst. Quite amazing indeed! I wonder if her picture was based on a real person the author knew. Does anyone know?
