Hester's morals

The Scarlet Letter is a good exaple of the twisted moral structure of that time period. The morality of that time was to kill anyone who was different or "sinful". In the story Hester is a woman who has to wear an A on her clothing because she is an adulterer. In the beggining of the story three women are gossiping as to what should be done to her, and two of the women wish physical harm to come to her. One of the woman says she should die for her sins because she has shamed the entire community. They believe their moral fiber is right, when in fact Hester and Dimmesdale are the real people in the story who have the real morality.
