The Scarlet Letter


The Scarlet Letter, By Nathaniel Hawthorn, sounds interesting despite what I heard from previous readers. I normally do not show interest in stories from this era, but I am interested in how this story of passion, emotion, and rule-breaking would play out in its strict Puritan setting. I read how upon Hawthorn reading the last words of the final chapter to his wife, she ran to bed crying. This tells how much of an emotional impact this book has on its readers. I wouldn't say I am too excited, but this book has caught my attention.
