The Scarlet Letter Progeny Press Study Guide, Grades 9-12 By: Irene Lape SET with Book
Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic American novel masterfully explores not only the historical and moral roots of America, but the terrible results of one sinful act upon all those involved. Hester Prynne has traveled alone to America to prepare a home for herself and her husband. In her husband's long absence Hester commits adultery and gives birth to a child. In accordance with the town's strict moral law, she is sentenced to stand for several hours on the town's scaffold exposed to public shame and to wear a scarlet "A" for the rest of her life. Hester's husband arrives but keeps his presence a secret, determined to seek revenge on Hester's lover.
