Hester
The Punishment Doesn’t Always Fit the Crime
The Scarlet Letter, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a book about Hester Prynne, a woman whose one night of passion leads to a lifetime of punishment. ... Hester commits adultery with the Reverend Dimmesdale and is sentenced to wear a letter “A” on her bosom for the rest of her life. ... At one point, the Reverend even says to Hester that she is lucky to be wearing the scarlet letter on her chest for all to see. ... Hester, wearing the letter “A”, is willing to accept her punishment and therefore able to move on in her life. ... Hester, in spite of the town’s intentions, makes the letter “A” a part of who she is. She overcomes this belief that she has to be ashamed of the letter and actually tries her hardest to make it noticeable by decorating it.
