Story
Written in the winter of 1849, The Scarlet Letter unfolds the story of Hester Prynne, a young woman branded as an adulteress in the harsh Puritan world of 17th-century New England. As Hester calls on her inner strength to transcend her shame, the scarlet letter ceases to be a stigma and finally becomes Hester's symbol of self-affirmation. This dramatic reading heightens the sense of lyric poetry that permeates every line of Nathaniel Hawthorne's great novel.

SuperSummary, a modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, offers high-quality instructional study guides for challenging works of literature.

Set in the 1600s in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, this classic of the American Romantic era tells the story of Hester Prynne, a Puritan woman who had an affair, gave birth to a daughter, and is thus sentenced to wear a scarlet letter “A” for adultery. The novel suggests that it is partly because she has “sinned” that Hester has such a keen sense of compassion; her personal experience of guilt and sadness leads her to empathize where others might condemn.
