3、ld. For protecting the priests reputation, she accepted the punishment with no hesitation-a red A letter on her chest meaning Adultery. Although it is absolutely difficult for her to live normally and happily with a red A, she is a great woman who had never surrendered to the fate, who even showed t
4、he contempt for the fate all her life, who had a spirit of sacrifice for pure love.

It is the scarlet letter in our heart which is having an effect on us, isnt it ?Everybody has his scarlet letter, but some are the voice of the justice, some are the crime of the accused. The Scarlet letter is yourself and defeating the scarlet letter is facing yourself.The Scarlet Letter let me to feel the peace after the depression, the happiness after the pain.
