Set in 17th-century Puritan Boston, Massachusetts, during the years 1642 to 1649, it tells the story of Hester Prynne, who conceives a daughter through an affair and will not reveal her lover’s identity. The scarlet letter A (for adultery) she has to wear on her clothes, along with her public shaming, is her punishment for her sin and her secrecy. She struggles to create a new life of repentance and dignity. Throughout the book, Hawthorne explores themes of legalism, sin, and guilt.

AN EXPLORATION OF GUILT
Regarded as one of the most fascinating and revealing novels ever written, THE SCARLET LETTER is the story of the effect of sin on the lives of three members of a small New England Puritan community.
The first is Hester Prynne, condemned to wear the scarlet letter and stand for all to see in the public stocks with her child in her arms. The second is Roger Chillingworth, Hester`s revengeful husband who swore he would devote the rest of his life to discovering the identity of the man who had dishonoured him. The last is the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, burdened by the terrible secret hidden in his heart.
