The Scarlet Letter
Reader Response Essay
Nathaniel Hawthorne, relative of the cruel Judge Hathorne, set out to write a novel about the consequence of sin. The main theme that I brought from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, was that there are consequences for negative actions, and doing good can yield positive results. This was exemplified through the actions of the various characters, and how it affected them.
Hester was a great example on the consequence of sin.

Then when Hester told Dimmesdale that they would run away together, that was running from his confession, which wasn’t good. The consequence of these actions came quickly through his evil thoughts, like when he wanted to “corrupt” a young virgin, and teach kids bad words, and do other things. This finally took its toll on Dimmesdale when Dimmesdale could feel his life fleeting from his body, and he finally confessed his sin before dying.
