The Scarlet Letter
author: Nathaniel Hawthorne
Hawthorne&amp;#8217;s emotional, psychological drama revolves around Hester Prynne, who is convicted of adultery in colonial Boston by the civil and Puritan authorities. She is condemned to wear the scarlet letter &amp;#8220;A&amp;#8221; on her chest as a permanent sign of her sin. The narrative describes the effort to resolve the torment suffered by Hester and her co-adulterer, the minister Arthur Dimmesdale, in the years after their affair. In fact, the story excludes even the representation of the passionate moment which enables the entire novel. It begins at the close of Hester&amp;#8217;s imprisonment many months after her affair and proceeds through many years to her final acceptance of her place in the community as the wearer of the scarlet letter.&nbsp;

I discovered this book through our SOCTEC1 class earlier. Well basically it&amp;#8217;s all about a girl who had lost her virginity before marriage, unfortunately in their culture and society, this is usually frowned upon and is considered a sin. Now as her punishment, she gets to wear a big scarlet letter (&amp;#8216;A&amp;#8217;) in front of her clothes to tell people that she&amp;#8217;s an adulterer. On trial, she&amp;#8217;s asked who the father of the kid she&amp;#8217;s conceiving is but she won&amp;#8217;t admit. Because the father is the person who is doing her trial (the &amp;#8216;chief&amp;#8217; per se). But they love each other.
