First published in 1850, Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is a seminal work of American literature that explores sin, guilt, and redemption in Puritan New England. Hester Prynne, condemned by her community after bearing a child out of wedlock, is forced to wear the scarlet letter "A" as a mark of shame. While she endures her punishment with dignity, the hidden guilt of her lover, the revered minister Arthur Dimmesdale, and the consuming vengeance of her estranged husband, Roger Chillingworth, drive the story to its haunting conclusion.
At once a historical romance and a profound moral allegory, The Scarlet Letter is a timeless meditation on hypocrisy, judgment, and the resilience of the human spirit.
