Hawthorne's The Scarlet letter deals with many themes, the most
|
|
powerful being punishment. In this novel, Hester Prynne becomes a highly
|
|
respected person in a Puritan society by overcoming one of the harshest
|
|
punishments, the scarlet letter. This object on "her bosom"; however, does
|
|
the exact opposite of that which it was meant for. Eventually, Hester
|
|
Prynne inverts all the odds against here due to her courage, pride and
|
|
effort. Hester went beyond the letter of the law and did everything asked
|
|
of here in order to prove that she is "able."
|
|
|
|
Hester became quite a popular seamstress, admired all over the town of
|
|
Boston for her work. Hester is modest in everything that she does. Hester
|
|
herself wears only poor clothing while she embroiders marvelous works for
|
|
the rest of Boston. The only piece of clothing forbidden to create was the
|
|
wedding vail. How could a woman wearing the scarlet letter create a dress
|
|
that represents the values of marriage; having committed sin as she did to
|
|
be involved in the marital bonds of another couple. Although she does the
|
|
job willingly and rarely ever looks back to the horrid past behind. The
|
|
scarlet letter was constantly worn by Hester with pride and dignity.
|
|
Hester knew that what was done in the past was wrong and that the scarlet A
|
|
was the right thing to do, therefor it is worn with a sense of pride.
|
|
|
|
The child, Pearl, is "a blessing and as a reminder of her sin." As if
|
|
the scarlet A were not enough punishment there "was a brat of that hellish
|
|
breed" which would remind Hester of what happened in the past. The "brat"
|
|
could have been given away to Governor Bellingham yet Hester proclaimed
|
|
that Pearl "is my happiness!...Ye shall not take her! I will die first!"
|
|
Not a person in Boston, nor Hester herself thought highly of the little
|
|
child and Hester refused to let Pearl go. Hester carried the kid around
|
|
only because it was a direct reflection of her sin and to cast away here
|
|
sin as freely as that to give it away would be unjust and unfair to Hester
|
|
and Pearl. From now on Hester would continually and proudly be near Pearl.
|
|
Hester would go against the grain in everything she did. Very rarely did
|
|
she ever give up hope; never did she complete a job poorly. In the city of
|
|
Boston "many people refused to interpret the scarlet A by its original
|
|
signification. They said that it meant Able; so strong was Hester Prynne,
|
|
with a woman's strength." By now the people of Boston believe in Hester
|
|
and accept her because Hester is an arduous, productive worker in the
|
|
puritan society. The townspeople were reconsidering whether Hester was
|
|
still worthy of wearing the scarlet letter by the time Hester was about to
|
|
leave with Dimmesdale. The people of Boston realized what a good job
|
|
Hester had done wearing it and what once was evil inside of Hester turned
|
|
into good.
|
|
|
|
The fact that Hester committed adultery was soon forgotten by the
|
|
people around Hesters' everyday life. Yet another meaning for the scarlet
|
|
letter was brought about when a meteorite appeared above Boston, a sexton
|
|
thought it represented the word "Angel" coming from above. What was once
|
|
an ignoble member of the puritan way of life became a decorous woman. This
|
|
turn in events was inevitable because of Hesters ability to defy the odds.
