*Title: The Scarlet Letter
*Author: Nathaniel Hawthorne
*Type of Book: Romantic work of fiction -It is a story about a woman who had a husband who's been abroad for years, maybe lost at sea. And she refuses to give up the name of the man she loves. She'll protect him and their forbidden love-to the very end. *Main Character: Hester Prynne Hester is the book's protagonist and the wearer of the scarlet letter that gives the book its title.

While waiting for him, she had an affair with a Puritan minister named Dimmesdale, after which she gave birth to Pearl. Hester is passionate but also strong—she endures years of shame and scorn. She equals both her husband and her lover in her intelligence and thoughtfulness. Her alienation puts her in the position to make acute observations about her community, particularly about its treatment of women.
