Introduction
• The Scarlet Letter told a story of a puritan woman Hester Prynne who was punished to wear a scarlet A which stood for the crime of adultery. The pretty young lady tried to settle down in Boston with her old and ugly husband Chillinggworth, a scholar. But the latter did not appear for years. During this time, Hester committed adultery with a local Minster Dimmesdale, and gave birth to a girl Pearl. Facing the terrible punishment, Hester refused to give her lover’s name away to protect him. Years later, the husband Chillinggworth came to the town and found out the whole truth, and he operated an horror revenge on Dimmesdale, with hiding his own true name. Yet, as the story going, Hester and Dimmesdale became sympathetic figures, while Chillinggworth was a devil at last.

Important Detail
When strangers looked curiously at the scarlet letter and none ever failed to do so they branded it afresh into Hester's soul;so that oftentimes,she could scarcely refrain, yet always did refrain, from covering the symbol with her hand.But then,again,an accustomed eye had likewise its own anguish to inflict.Its cool stare of familiarity was intolerable.From first to last ,in short ,Hester Prynne had always this dreadful agony in feeling a human eye upon the token;the spot never grew callous;it seemed,on the contrary,to grow more sensitive with daily torture.

The Puritans were a group of English Protestants in the 16th and 17th centuries, including, but not limited to, English Calvinists. Puritanism in this sense was founded by John Calvin from the clergy shortly after the accession of Elizabeth I of England in 1558, as an activist movement within the Church of England.
