The Scarlet Letter -

Oh Hawthorne. I enjoy your tale of Hester Prynne and the rest of the gang.

I think that the Scarlet Letter definitely resonates today and that's why it is so great.
Honestly, I don't have a lot to say about it. I read it in high school and wasn't as interested as I was reading it now. I feel as if you can read something once and then read it again at a different part in your life and it strikes a different chord. This is essentially how I feel about this story.

Basically I, in some ways, admire Hester. She is an interesting character and although obviously flawed, I consider a strong woman who overcomes a lot of struggle and contempt.

Overall...I enjoyed reading.
