the scarlet letter

The Scarlet Letter
The Scarlet letter is about a lady who has an affair during the days of the Salem witch trials and she has a daughter as the result of her affair, and so everyone knows about it, and she has to wear this big red A, standing for Adultery, on her chest so everyone will know she's a 'horrible person' which is the stupidest thing i've ever heard. So...everyone rejects her and her daughter never gets to play with the other kids and there's this really horrible mean, devilish man who like haunts her and tries to destroy her life and stuff. It's a book that's like...really internal. there's not a lot of dialogue. it's kind of dark and morbid, and sad, but its really good. And...it seems like there's something about that horrible man having some sort of wound on him from his bitterness and like him actually being the father of her child or something, or maybe somebody else is the father of her child, i don't remember, but in the end, he gets hung I think (oh and her daugher's name is Pearle) and they go away to another place and she gets to take the A I think and they live happily. So yeah, i need to reread that one, my memory of it is a little fuzzy lol.
