Summary
Nathaniel Hawthorne: The Scarlet Letter
When the young woman, the mother of this child, appeared fully before the crowd, her first movement was to hug the child more tightly to her breast, not so much out of motherly love as to hide the sign which was either woven or pinned to her dress. But nevertheless, wisely judging that one sign of her shame could hardly serve to hide another, she suddenly took the child in her arms and with fire on her cheeks, but with a smile full of pride and a look that did not deviate, she looked at all her fellow citizens and neighbors.
In June 1642 in Puritan Boston, a group of people gathered to witness the public vilification of Esther Prynne, a young woman who was condemned by the community for adultery. Although she is forced to wear a bright red mark of shame on her chest, she steadfastly refuses to reveal who the father of her child is. Looking at the citizens present in the square, Ester notices a short, disfigured man and recognizes him as her long-lost husband, whom she thought had died. Hurt and enraged, he will do anything to find the woman's lover and make him share his shame with her.
A master of symbolism and compelling storytelling, Nathaniel Hawthorne tells the story of the complexity of sin and guilt, as well as the (impossibility) of reconciliation and forgiveness in this masterpiece of American literature.
