To me i thought that Poe's writing was much more intriguing.  Nathaniel Hawthorne is a great author, but it was much harder to connect to his writing.  Poe writes from his soul so it is easier to paint the picture of his writings in your head as you read along.  While i was reading The Scarlet Letter i found it difficult to connect with the characters and truly see the message he was trying to get across.  Poe writes in a way that is more fun to read because you are able to make up so many different interpretations.
