The Scarlet Letter "A"Stands for Able
“A” eventually comes to stand for Able
Its about a woman named Hester Prynne who has a baby out of wedlock. She commited adultery by doing that because her husband wasn't dead like she originally thought. So as punishment for her sin, she is forced to wear a scarlet A on her chest. The A stands for adultery. All the people shunned her and were not allowed to forgive and forget. She ever had to live outside the city limits. It is totally true what she did was wrong. But how long can people punish her? More importantly, the father of the child is not branded as Hester is. Ironically, her public ‘guilt’ and ostracism strengthens her, while Dimmesdale private guilt and the respect of community eats him up.
A woman charged with adultery and forced to wear the letter A upon her clothes, but upon wearing it, decided to add fancy embroidery as if to appropriate the letter as a point of pride. Hester, a knitter by trade, sees the letter as a burden laid on by society, an act of community-enforced guilt that she is forced to bear, even though it seems to make little difference for her private thoughts.
She freely assumes the scarlet letter again, even though no magistrate would require it of her. But the letter is no longer a stigma. It (and she) is regarded with reverence and awe. Finally the women seek her out for comfort and wise counsel, and she gives freely from the wisdom she has gained through has many years of isolation and suffering.
“A” for Able
The townspeople gradually change their opinion of Hester over time, viewing her as a strong woman who performs worthwhile charitable work. Thus, the "A" begins to stand for "able" in their eyes. The symbol becomes a sign how she is able to control the ‘storm’. In this world, there is nobody who wants to live in suffering. So does Hester. She makes the letter A a guiding ligth to step further and also face a brighter future. Nevertheless, to relize the dreams
