The interplay of Hester, her husband Rodger's ceaseless torture of Arthur Dimmesdale - secret father of Hester's child results in a mesmerizing American Tragedy. The Scarlet Letter represents the height of Hawthorne's literary genius. exploration of the universals themes of legalism, sin, guilt and the deft application of psychological depth has kept this book deeply relevant since it's first printing.
