The Scarlet Letter
by Nathanial Hawthorne
"A pure hand needs no glove to cover it."
"One token of her shame would but poorly serve to hide another."

"But this had been a sin of passion, not of principal, nor even purpose."

"She had not known the weight until she felt the freedom."

"Ah, but let her cover the mark as she will."

This book was nothing like I have ever read before. I don't think that I really would want to read a book like this again. I didn't like how much sin there was in one book. I don't think that the plot was bad, but i just think that they could have toned the book down just a little. I think the symbolism inside of this novel was very good and really got one thinking. I don't think that the way it was written was very easy to understand. This was my least favorite book we read over this school year.
