Especially when you’ve struggled with some aspects of the book. At least this is the way it is for me. I don’t think my critical opinion holds any value on a global scale. Legendary books will be read irrespective of my subjective impressions. Still, on the other hand, there is no harm in adding one more opinion to the vast number of opinions already expressed about the story.I can’t say that I didn’t like “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I did like the eloquent, dreamy prose that transported me into a different reality. The image of the seventeenth-century Puritan society the author draws in the story is fascinating.The main issue that kept me from fully enjoying the book is that it didn’t show me who Hester Prynne really was. It felt like there is a photograph of the main character with a description of how she looks and what her daily activities are on the back. Hester Prynne lacks substance, and without it, it’s hard to relate to anyone, real or fictional.My assumption is that the author, being a product of his time, simply didn’t have a broad enough knowledge of women and the inner workings of their minds. The fact that the emotional sufferings of Arthur Dimmesdale are described vividly and in detail somewhat gives weight to this theory.Although inarguably poetic, the author’s style is rather heavy. Some sentences are a Kindle page long. I’m not a fan of short sentences without adverbs and adjectives. For me, language is like clay, from which you can create an infinite number of forms. And still, reading “The Scarlet Letter” was challenging. The introductory chapter was especially taxing, and I was relieved that the author changed the style a little in the main part of the book.Usually, I have so much to say about what I thought and felt reading the book. In this case, I am at a loss what to share.The chapters dedicated to Arthur Dimmesdale are piercing, showing a person torn by his passions that contradict society's rules. He is unlikeable, weak, and self-centered. The author has managed to demonstrate how the man’s emotional struggles led to his physical decline.Hester’s daughter Pearl also is an intriguing character, but to the readers, she remains an enigma, much like her mother.Roger Chillingworth adds spice to the story. But since it’s already packed with drama, I failed to appreciate the edge he represents.All in all, the book hasn’t left me indifferent. It has also left me with too many unanswered questions. It’s not a bad thing to be left wondering “what if”. But with “The Scarlet Letter”, the questions are “What happened in the main characters’ lives?”, “How did they meet?”, “What did they feel about this and that?”. And these are too profound questions not to get even a glimpse of an answer to. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic that everyone should read. *by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 3, 2023* This book is referenced so much in pop culture I feel like it is important for people to read and understand it. I love the characters, the writing isn’t difficult to understand despite the novel being written over a century ago, and the story does not drag on. The chapters are short so it’s easy to pick up and spend 10 minutes on, then move on to another task in your daily life. Gives interesting perspective on society in early America. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another Classic, or is it? *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 16, 2022* What a classic story in The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I have read other Hawthorne stories, and this is not the first time I read this one. Anyone who ever went to high school English class, knows about the Scarlet Letter "A" and why Hester wore it. I remember reading this book in high school, so reading it for the second time (and decades later), gave me a different perspective of the story. I was now reading it as an adult, not as a teenager writing a book report (remember those?) I see why this is a classic title, and yes, to me it is, not because it was written in 1850, but because it shows the perspective and perception of morality, and this very, very small town, who doted on Dimmsdale, but chastised Hester (even wanted her hung) because of her infidelity. I'm glad that I read this book again. I read it mainly because it is on the banned book list (several, actually), and I wanted to see if what I remembered about the book was accurate. It was in a way, but it was also different. I guess we change as we get older, and what we see when we're younger, we don't always see as we grow older. If you've read this before, I recommend reading it again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/32136818-the-scarlet-letter-easy-read-edition-everything-you-need-in](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/32136818-the-scarlet-letter-easy-read-edition-everything-you-need-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
