Mature

Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1640
    
    A young Puritan woman named Hester Prynne learns her husband is missing, presumed dead. She is secretly glad to be able to maintain her independence until she seeks comfort from a new minister, Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale.
    
    Despite each knowing that their strict religion bans any relationship between them, the pair cannot help but develop a deep bond, and each face a different consequence for it, namely a Scarlet Letter.
    ---
    If you have ever read The Scarlet Letter: A Romance by Nathaniel Hawthorne and thought to yourself, what romance? How did these two goody goodies commit the sexual sinning needed for this plot to happen?
    
    Well, friends, I have given it a lot of thought, and trying to mimic the diction of the source material, I present my interpretation of the romance and maybe you will be a little sad that these two lived in such a society they couldn't ever be happy together.
