The Puritan Influence in The Scarlet Letter
Puritanism was the religion chosen by the people of New England, where Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter takes place. It is because of the beliefs of the Puritan community and religion that Hester Prynne, the main character of the novel, is expelled from the town. ... She is shown as a strong woman—she holds her head high and does not try to cover up the scarlet letter that she must wear on her chest. ...
Dimmesdale is another major figure in the book—a pastor in the Puritan church.
