Have you ever had public shame? Well, Hester did. If you are curious about this woman, you should read The Scarlet Letter by N.Hawthorne.
A beautiful young woman Hester wears letter A on her bosom and stands on scaffold to have shame for her sin. When she returns to jail Roger who was her husband comes and asks her to keep that he was her husband as a secret. Roger sees that priest got a letter A on his chest and thinks that he was Hester's child Pearl's father. Hester meets the priest, tell him the secret and asks him to go to England. After new governor’s election sermon, priest asks Hester and Pearl to come up to scaffold and admit his guilt. After that he dies. Roger also dies because he has no one to revenge.
After I read this book, I thought it is good to be punished as quickly as possible. The priest did not have the punishment and died suffering.
I recommend this book mostly to girl because this story is not a story that most of the boys would like.
