The Scarlet Letter

The story takes place many years ago when we can not relate to the beliefs and customs of the people at that time. Yet we sympathize with Hester, Dimmsdale and Pearl. They appear to be the most innocent, pure and kind people in the colony unlike Roger, the Reverend, Master Bellingham and the rest of the townspeople. Also the physical description of a character go along with the personality of him or her. For example, Hester is beautiful, young so her personality is kind and giving. Roger Chillingworth is old, ugly and he is the person who seeks to destroy Dimmsdale. The thing that was astonishing was that Hester returns to the town and resumes to wear the Scarlet letter after so many years.
