The Scarlet letter is a very interested story that Hawthorne seems to tight together during the 17th century New England days of the Puritans. It shows compassion between Hester and Pearl her daughter as well as Arthur Dimmesdale the minister who had an affair with Hester causing her to have a child out of wedlock which causes tension and strife between the public and Puritan law as Hester wears the scarlet letter A, by being publicly disgraced, but gains strength from the scarlet letter that she discovers true love and devotion to her daughter Pearl. The mystery of the story is finding revealed by Minister Dimmesdale to the public. This is a wonderful book that displays the creative imagination of the romantic heart.
