    Scarlet is the colour of sin, and the letter "A" stands for "Adultery". In the 1600's, in Boston, Massachusetts, love was allowed only between a husband and a wife. A child born outside marriage was a child of sin. Hester Trynne must wear the scarlet letter on her dress for the rest of her life. How can she ever escape from this public shame ? What will happen to her child, growing up in the shadow of the scarlet letter ? The future holds no joy for Hester Prynne. And what will happen to her sinful lover, the father of her child ?
