Being True To Oneself In The Scarlet Letter
	The Scarlet Letter, a novel that takes place in a New England colony, depicts a lady
named Hester Prynne who is being punished for committing adultery by wearing a scarlet “A” on
her chest.  Hester and her daughter, Pearl, live with disgrace and mocking from the colonists. 
Reverend Dimmesdale, Pearl’s father, is also being tortured by his deceptive friend, Doctor Roger
Chillingworth, who is Hester’s husband.  There are many instances of characters not being their
true selves.  Not being true to one’s self causes unhappy consequences.

Dimmesdale can show his true self to is Hester.  In the darkness of the forest or in the shadows of
the night he can be his true
