Scarlet Letter

This story is actually pretty good. The story starts with Hester being persecuted by her people but she takes it and doesn't car about their opinions. Readers tend to admire Hester for her strong will in this book and hate Dimmsdale for his weak will. He however isn't the most hated character in the book. That award would go to Chillingworth Hester's ex husband. This guy is a total creep. He just sits there the whole book stalking Hester and her daughter Pearl. Pearl is also an interesting character. She was conceived from sin and portrays it. She pelts birds and children with rocks. However, this behavior is pretty understandable because she is constantly backed into a wall by the other villagers and looked down upon. All this girl wants his her father and for a brief moment she does. Till he dies. This part kind of pissed me off. It wasn't the fact that he did die because that felt appropriate. It was the fact that he did die. He admitted he was the father and the plopped dead. The book was pretty and had a good story line. I just wish the author would have ended it better.
