Best Book Review of the Month

The Scarlet Letter
Hawthorne's interpretation of sin
in The Scarlet Letter is expressed
through Hester Prynn's harsh
punishment for adultery in a Puri-
tan society. He describes the
character's inner turmoil that
comes with the matter of Hester's
unforgivable sin. One will be cap-
tivated in the pages of Haw-
thorne's novel, The Scarlet Letter,
finding oneself unable to pull
away from the lies, deception,
and hidden personalities of the
highly respected Puritan Society.
