Sin And Punishment In Scarlet Letter
Nathaniel Hawthorne is one of the most symbolic writers in all of American history. Hester Prynne, a beautifully strong and humble woman who has no shame for the sins she has committed, isolates herself from the rest of society and covers up her beauty after being released from jail. Distanced from everyone else, Hester goes on to raise her child, Pearl, who she believes that God gave to her for a reason. Hester Prynne, a tenacious, honest, courageous woman, has committed an irreversible mistake that she will be tormented with, for the rest of her miserable existence. She will be shunned from the rest of her community, only to be accompanied with a constant reminder of the result of her act of love and passion, an act which was also adultery.

Hester Prynne and Reverend Dimmesdale are both guilty of adultery, but have altered ways of performing penance for their actions. The town first ostracizes Hester because of their strong religious beliefs. Hester is then faced with an immense struggle against the town and Roger Chillingworth.
