About this ebook
In a 17th-century Puritan colony, Hester Prynne is condemned for the sin of adultery and forced to wear a scarlet "A" on her chest as a mark of shame. Despite the social condemnation, Hester faces her fate with unshakable dignity, raising her daughter Pearl amid the rejection of the community. Throughout the novel, the deep moral conflicts of the protagonist are explored, along with the silent suffering of her secret lover and the weight of judgment in a society that does not forgive. The Scarlet Letter is a profound reflection on guilt, redemption, and the complexity of the human heart.
