This novel tells the story of Hester Prynne, who conceives a daughter through an affair and struggles to create a new life of and dignity. Set in 17th-century Puritan Massachusetts Bay Colony, during the years 1642 to 1649, it explores themes of legalism, sin, and guilt. It revolves around shaming and social stigmatizing, both Hester`s public humiliation and Dimmesdale`s private shame and fear of exposure. Notably, their liaison is never spoken of, so the circumstances that lead to Hester`s pregnancy, and how their affair was kept secret never become part of the plot.
