Some background about the book "The Scarlet Letter"

"The Scarlet Letter" is based on America in the colonial era more than two hundred years ago, but exposes the cruelty of social codes, religious deception and moral hypocrisy in the United States of America in the era of capitalist development in the 19th century. The main character, Hester, is written as the embodiment of high morality. She not only convinces the inconsistent Dimmesdale, but also convicts the society full of sins.
