Scarlet Letter Essay

Guilt in The Scarlet Letter

In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel The Scarlet Letter guilt and its effects are a constant theme.  The story is based on the results of guilt as an effect of sin.  The first character who is exposed to this guilt is Hester, who struggles more openly with this problem.  On the other hand the Reverend Dimmesdale suffers alone with a searing guilt which ultimately leads to his demise.

Hawthorne even shows her as an A herself Hester make her  a beautiful red dress that is vaguely shaped like an A,
