  The scarlet letter narrates a tragically beautiful story which happened in a religious supremacy era. The scarlet letter, a scarlet capital letter A, is the clue that runs through the whole book which draws forth the beginning, development and ending of the story. At the beginning of the story, Hester, the heroine of the story, was standing on the gallows with a three-month-year old newborn girl in her arms. This suspenseful start makes readers wonder what had happened then to leave her in such a situation? The Hester’s obtrusive scarlet letter on her bosom seemed to reveal everything that represents the sin of adultery. Only because she went against the religious morality and sacred rules that is adultery. Though her husband whom she married for due to the arranged marriage had probably died from shipwreck, she still had to be loyal to her husband. This makes me can’t help thinking of the feudalism that a woman must support the family after her husband died and can not marry other people not even the proper true love. In the society that is gender inequality, women’s right is not the right, it’s just an unimportant thing. Those who haven’t married belong to their father, conversely, belong to their husbands, which is blatantly unfair. It seems that women live for themselves, not showing their own value, which makes them more like goods rather than people. The limitation of the era distorted and destroyed many people. I am so lucky I wasn’t born in that kind of age and that I can enjoy the freedom of seeking love! Love is the most beautiful thing in the world. If you don't explore and experience it, you come to the world for nothing.
