...let her cover the mark as she will, the pang of it will be always in her heart.
A tale of sin, punishment and atonement, The Scarlet Letter
exposes the moral rigidity of a 17th-Century Puritan New England
community when faced with the illegitimate child of a young mother.
Regarded as the first real heroine of American fiction, it is Hester
Prynne's strength of character that resonates with the reader when her
harsh sentence is cast. It is in her refusal to reveal the identity of
the father in the face of her accusers that Hawthorne champions his
heroine and berates the weakness of society for attacking the innocent.
