In 17th-century Puritan Massachusetts, Hester Prynne is condemned to wear a scarlet letter “A” on her chest—a public mark of her sin of adultery. Isolated and shunned, she grapples with themes of guilt, shame, and redemption. Hawthorne’s novel explores the complexities of moral judgment and the human capacity for resilience and dignity in the face of societal condemnation.
