The novel The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, tells the tale of Hester Prynne, who has committed adultery in the Puritan community and therefore must be sentenced to wearing a scarlet letter A upon her breast of clothing for the rest of her days. The story starts as she is walking up to the scaffold where she must present herself to the community and is inquired by the minister to identify the father of her child and she receives berating by the community for her sin. Hester lives her days on the outskirts of the town with her young babe, Pearl, sewing and making fine pieces of clothing that even royalty would be jealous of. Dimmesdale, the minister of the church, goes through a lot of mental torment, even going to the point of whipping himself to rid himself of the guilt he is feeling.
