Set two centuries before Hawthorne's own time, The Scarlet Letter follows heroine Hester Prynne who is compelled by her Puritan society to wear a scarlet letter 'A' on her clothes as a symbol of her sin: adultery. Accompanied by colorful and flawed characters, including the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale who broods over a long-hidden secret, and Hester's husband Roger Chillingsworth who thirsts for vengeance, The Scarlet Letter, America's first psychological novel, is a masterpiece that explores humanity's unending struggles with pride, sin, and guilt.
