The Scarlet Letter

The Scarlet Letter was one of the worse books I ever read. It’s about a woman named Hester who commits adultery and must wear a scarlet a stiched on her dress at all times. She does not reveal who the father of her daughter, Pearl is but you find out in the book. Her husband from Amsterdam, Chillingworth also shows up and tells her that he will be staying in town until he finds out who Pearl’s father is. Reverend Dimmesdale is Pearl’s father and because of the secret he grows ill. Chillingworth is a doctor and takes care of Dimmesdale. I really just hated the storyline to this book and how it read.
