The Scarlet Letter

What if one choice marked you forever?

Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is one of the greatest American novels—a profound exploration of morality, shame, and resilience in 17th-century Puritan New England.

At its heart is the story of Hester Prynne, a woman condemned to wear the scarlet letter "A" after bearing a child out of wedlock. Defying the judgment of her rigid community, Hester raises her daughter Pearl while confronting the silence of the child's father and the growing vengeance of her estranged husband.

With its rich symbolism, dark atmosphere, and searing critique of hypocrisy, Hawthorne's masterpiece is both a gripping story and a timeless meditation on guilt, punishment, and the possibility of redemption.

A cornerstone of American literature, The Scarlet Letter remains as powerful today as when it was first published in 1850.
