Nathaniel Hawthorne, born in 1804 and died in 1864, was a renowned American writer and a pioneer of romantic novels and psychological fiction in American literary history. The Scarlet Letter is his masterpiece. The Scarlet Letter tells a love tragedy that takes place during the colonial period in North America. The heroine, Hester Prynne, marries the physician Arthur Dimmesdale. Hester is publicly punished and forced to wear a red letter "A" as a mark of adultery. However, Hester remains steadfast and refuses to reveal the father of her child. Hester's husband arrives in North America from England, witnesses Hester's punishment, and decides to find the father of her child to take revenge. At the time, Dimmesdale is deeply beloved by the local residents for his outstanding work, but he is gradually weakening under the heavy burden of his conscience. The people then arrange for Chillingworth to live with the pastor to treat his illness. Hester, feeling guilty toward her husband, agrees to Chillingworth not to reveal their legal marriage publicly. As a result, a cruel act of revenge begins. In the end, Dimmesdale cannot bear the condemnation of his conscience and publicly admits his guilt, dying in Hester's arms. Chillingworth, on the other hand, becomes a slave to the devil and becomes a true sinner.
