The Scarlett letter, the book of the moment

The story begins in the seventeenth century in Boston, where Hester Prynne is accused of adultery because she has not known about her husband for years. When she is released from jail, she is taken to the village scaffold next to Pearl, her daughter, in her arms, with the scarlet letter "A" on her chest. Hester refuses to reveal the identity of her lover. One of the people who are seeing this is her husband who changed his identity calling himself Roger Chilllingworth, a doctor. Who returns to take revenge. Hester is threatened because she is the only one who knows her true identity. Several years pass, Pearl has become a very rebellious girl and that causes community officials to try to take Peal away from Heaster. But Dimmesdale, a young minister and reverend, convinces them not to separate them. Chillingworth being a doctor is assigned to Dimmesdale since he seems to be getting sick. Chillingworth realizes that the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale is probably the father of Hester's daughter and torments the mind and soul of Dimmesdale. One afternoon, while the minister sleeps, Chillingworth discovers a mark on the man's chest, which convinces him that his suspicions are correct. One night Hester and Pearl, returning home, meet Dimmesdale trying to punish himself for his sins. Hester and Pearl join him, and the three link their hands.
Hester meets with Dimmesdale in the forest, confesses the identity of Chilllingworth, they decide to go to Europe. The day arrived, but Dimmesdale had to give a sermon, everyone was delighted with what he said, when they were about to board a sailor he told them Chillingworth was going to accompany them and he had a wicked smile. Dimmesdale, seeing what was happening, called Hester and said that God had sent him there and called himself "the only sinner in the world". Hester kisses him and he dies. Frustrated in his revenge, Chillingworth dies a year later. Hester and Pearl leave Boston, and nobody knows what happens to them. Many years later, Hester returns alone, still with the scarlet letter, to live in her old house and resume her works of charity. When Hester dies, she is buried next to Dimmesdale.
