The Scarlet Letter exposes the moral rigidity of a
17th-Century Puritan New England community when faced with the
illegitimate child of a young mother. Regarded as the first real
heroine of American fiction, it is Hester Prynne's strength of
character that resonates with the reader when her harsh sentence is

the face of her accusers that Hawthorne champions his heroine and
berates the weakness of Society for attacking the innocent.
