Abstract The novel was opened by Hero of the protagonist and was humiliated publicly because she committed adultery, so it was brought to the scaffold. Hester was always forced to put the letter "A" on the dress. Hester brought the daughter's pearl. In public, she acknowledged her husband from Amsterdam, opponent Roger Chillingworth. After returning to prison, Chillingworth visited Hester. He told her that she would know who he was. Then he forced to promise to not disclose his real identity to her.
In "red letters" written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the symbol, especially the letter "A" plays an important role. The letter "A" or "red letter" represents direct adultery, and the owner Hester and the pastor Mr. Ding Mesdale bear the burden. Because the letter "A" is a symbol of sin and awkwardness, or at least a means, it has a deeper meaning than affair. The letter 'A' signifies the sign of the が, but it develops throughout the story and keeps their beliefs. In order to strengthen their power, the government pays close attention to people and makes everyone vulnerable; life is too fast, there is not much time to think about the world. Like the suppression of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "red letter", the hero's Hester Prinn violated the strict rules of the Puritan community and was abandoned by the public.
Nathaniel Hawthorne's unique "red letter" is usually in a society where people are criticized, punished and despised against personal choices and flaws. Author Nathaniel Hawthorne uses Hester Prynne in the novel "The Scarlet Letter" to symbolize that people who challenge social integration benefit society as a whole. She was banished for adultery but she believes that the community needs her. Through her bold novel "Red Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, it develops around sin and punishment. The protagonist of this novel is quite contrastive on how to respond to crime. Dimmesdale's immediate reaction to crime is to tell a lie. Before he was in Hester and other parts of the town, he continued to provide a speech on how she is most interested in her and her father.
