By Nathaniel Hawthorne The Scarlet Letter is a
story that shows a love that cannot be. "Mother, "
said little Pearl, "the sunshine does not love
you. It runs away and hides itself, because it is
afraid of something on your bosom. It will not
flee from me, for I wear nothing on my bosom yet!"

tedious, wearisome, sleep inducing, insipidly
asinine, and the end result is The Scarlet Letter.
Despite all these things it was considered a
classic and was a statement of the era. The
Scarlet Letter is a wonderful and not such a
traditional example of the good v...
