The Scarlet Letter

I found this story interesting because of the way Hawthorne approached the details in the Scarlet Letter.
Everytime I read a story about a young individual who gets tortured for some thing they couldn't control, I can't help but think about reality. There are so many children in the world whose parents make the mistakes and they have to deal with the consequences. In this case Hester is proud of Pearl and sees her as a "blessing" and a reason to go on with her life. The townspeople talk about how she isnt human because of the question about who her father is. To instigate this theory she goes about saying her father is the Devil. Once Pearl knows that Dimmesdale is her father she feels whole for once.
Although Hester was humiliated completely by being outcasted by wearing this A where ever she went, it was also a way to show that she could cross these boundaries where everyone else was scared to go. Rebellion shows bravery and strength but has consequences for the actions.
This novel was full of seperation issues within characters as well as the individual mind.
