The Scarlet Letter

"Red Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a cult classic. And there are good reasons. The title of the book is simply merely thinking that the hero merely shows that he is wearing a scarlet "A" to her clothing to punish her adultery. Obviously, if so, this paper is not necessary. On the contrary, the "red character" is very embarrassing. You can claim that the red letter is the letter itself. I will enrich it with literature, history and symbolism. What is a real red letter?

"Red Letter" reveals moral and social values ​​related to social discrimination against women through alienation of Hester Prynne, the main character of "Red Letter". In the "red letter", Hester was punished for an affair relationship with Pastor Din Mesdale, and a child named Pearl was born. For adultery, the social authority of Puritan she lived was accused of wearing a red letter on her chest. In fact, however, Hester is "red" and there is social alienation, and it is declared life imprisonment for the reason that the community is looking at a foreign body contaminant. For that reason, women are further alienated because they should act according to society's beliefs.
