THE SCARLET LETTER: A ROMANCE

Nathaniel Hawthorne’s critique of the 17th century Puritan New England brings to the fore the persecution of so-called sinners and criminals in the society that immigrants were trying to set up at that time. Hawthorne’s best-know work, The Scarlet Letter, is a saga of Hester Prynne’s trauma as well as courage in the face of adversity. She emerges a stronger character after she is condemned to wear the scarlet letter ‘A’ on her breast after her liaison with the weak-willed priest Arthur Dimmesdale. How she turns Able and ultimately Angel from Adulteress shows her strength of character and integrity.
