The Scarlet Letter was an ok book, of course it's an American classic and has an intersting point about society. It is a little hard to get interested in, but Hester Prynne is a character you want to be happy. Even though she was charged with adultery she doesn't give up, she raises her daughter to a hypocritcal society in which they are outcast. To get the whole story you have to read the book it's really too much information to try and explain.
Review/Description
Roger Chillingworth, an aging scholar, arrives in New England after two years' separation from his wife Hester to find her on trial for adultery. For refusing to reveal her lover's identity, she is condemned to wear a letter 'A' sewn onto her clothes. Roger resolves to discover and destroy the man who has stolen his honor.For the next seven years the participants in this bizarre love triangle privately suffer the consequences of betrayal, cowardice, and humiliation. Slowly but surely, the need for redemption grows in each as the story hastens toward its dramatic close.
