Anyone who punishes a sinner with a "red letter" should punish the sinner. It should be religious, social or personal. In Hawthorne's "red letter", these three people are influencing the hero's hero pudding. Religion blames her in red, society rejects her as punishment, and she can go forward personally in life but still return to the sad place she died. Religion plays an important role in "red letters". Hester Prynne was wearing a Scarlet Letter to remind her of this mistake.
The general aspect of the letters "red letters" and "chudes" are similar. Both of these people have major opponents who wish to punish sinners. In "Red Letter" this person is Roger Chillingworth trying to retaliate against Dimmesdale. In The Crucible, the opponent is Abigail Williams, and the girl accuses that it is mainly a witch. In addition, both literary works contain ignorant citizens who contribute to major conflicts. "Red", these are people despising Hester, but like the pastor Ding Messada. When his daughter was sick, the house of the pastor Paris resembled a citizen of the red character in the court of the crucible. Part of the reason is the setting of Puritan. This affects people's way of thinking and sinners' view. Another similarity between the characters is similar town character in each role.
