I have been reffered by Tiffany Knatt to read The Scarlett Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. She said she thinks I would be interested in reading it, but she did not tell me why she thought I would have an interest in the book. I have heard about this book prior to her telling me about it from the movie Easy A. From what I heard, it's about a lady named Hesther, and I think she lived in Massachusetts. Evidently, she was an adulterer and had to wear a red "A" on her chest so everyone would know the crime she committed.
From this little piece of information, I can guess that the city shunned her and wouldn't associate with her. I believe many people probably committed adultery back in those days, but they didn't get pregnant and have a baby like Hesther did so they just didn't get caught. I can't wait for my knowledge to go further on this book once I start getting deep into it. I think it'll be good, but some parts may be a little boring if I don't fully understand it all. Besides that, I'll probably like it.
