Scarlet Letter 8

The scarlet letter it’s the element which all the story round around. It is the symbol of the sin of Hester Prynne, a sort of mark indelible she will have forever to show to everyone the mistake that spots her soul. It’s the letter “A”, just the first letter of her sin: Adultery. Wearing it, day by day, Hester is the example on the earth of her mistake and a sort of warning for all who would think to do the same, before their thoughts become reality. The color scarlet isn’t casual. It represents the tormented the love, the passion she felt that only time she made her sin. Because once was sufficient to make her a sinner, in front of the people but, more, in front of God. The position of the letter on the heart of the woman represents materially an obstacle for her soul to reach the purity again. She lost it forever!
