Although criticism of The Scarlet Letter for a long time took Dimmesdale as the central character,it has more recently reacknowledged what was well understood in Hawthorne's own time,that Hester is protagonist and center.The narrator allies himself with her and,despite occasional adverse judgments,devotes himself to her cause.His cause as narrator is to obliterate her obliteration,to force the reader to accept Hester's reading of her letter as a badge of honor instead of a mark of negation.The narrator forces us,just as Hester forces her Puritan townsmates,to see her as a good woman on her own terms.In contrast to the two distorted male personalities who counterpoise her-the one obsessed with revenge,the other with his own purity-Hester appears almost a miracle of wholeness and sanity.While these men struggle with their own egos and fantasies,she has real battles-to maintain her self-respect in a community that scorns her,to stay sane in solitude,to support herself and her child,to raise that child to normal adulthood despite so many obstacles.Curiously,though she has been cast out of society,Hester remains very much in the world,whereas Chillingworth and Dimmesdale at the very center of society,are totally immured in their self-absorption.In her inner integrity and her outer responsiveness,Hester is a model and a counterstatement.
Cautiously,Hawthorne advances the notion that if society is to be changed for the better,such change will be initiated by women.But because society has condemned Hester as a sinner,the good that she can do is greatly circumscribed.Her achievements in a social sense come about as by-products of her personal struggle to win a place in the society; and the fact that she wins her place at last indicates that society has been changed by her.Might there be in the future a reforming woman who had not been somehow stigmatized by society?Although in his later works Hawthorne was to answer this question negatively,in The Scarlet Letter the possibility,though faint,is there.
There is more to be said about Hester than space allows; let me confine myself to two points:first,the relative insignificance of her relation to Dimmesdale in comparison with her relation to Pearl-the supersession in her portrait of sexual love by maternal love.The downplaying of her passion for Dimmesdale means that--although she continues to love him,and remains in Boston largely on his account-her goodness and her essential nature are not defined by her relation to a man.Hawthorne does not cooperate in the masculine egotism that he excoriates in The Blithedale Romance by making Hester a mere event in the great sum of man.Hester is a self in her own right portrayed primarily in relation to the difficulties in her social situation,in relation to herself,and in relation to Pearl.
Through Pearl,Hester becomes an image of "Divine Maternity" (1:56).But though so signally a mother,she is not a "mother figure." By detaching her from the social milieu that defines and supports the concept of motherhood,Hawthorne is able to concentrate on the relation of Hester to her child without any social implications.In fact,society in this instance wishes to separate the mother and child.By giving her a recalcitrant daughter as child,Hawthorne has even more cleverly set his depiction of motherhood apart from Victorian ideology.What remains is an intense personal relation that expresses Hester's maternal nature in a remarkably role-free way.
But adult love,sexual love,has not been written out of the story by this emphasis,and this is the second point I would stress.At the end of the work Hester expresses the hope "that,at some brighter period,when the world should have grown ripe for it,in Heaven's own time,a new truth would be revealed,in order to establish the whole relation between man and woman on a surer ground of Mutual happiness." The "angel and apostle of the coming revelation must be a woman" who would show "how sacred love should make us happy,by the truest test of a life successful to such an end!" (SL:263).These are Hester's ideas rather than the narrator's,but he does not distance himself from her at this point."Earlier in life,Hester had vainly imagined that she herself might be the destined prophetess." Hester could have had this vain imagining only during the very brief period of her secret affair with Dimmesdale,for once she was stigmatized she could have no further hope of living a life such as she describes.But during their affair,she felt that what they did had a consecration of its own-it was this consecration,then,that she wished to put to the test of a lifetime.
Therefore,what Hester means by "sacred love" is really "sexual love," and she looks forward to the time when sex and love can be united by men in one emotion,a time when somehow women can heal the split in the male psyche.As Freud,writing later in the century,was to observe the male inability to feel passion and tenderness toward the same "object," so Hawthorne not many decades earlier found the male's revulsion and fear of sex leading him to separate from women and incapable therefore of love.Hester's letter represents not merely adulterous sex but all sex,and the image of divine maternity becomes even more telling than it seemed at first.Every child testifies to the sexual experience of its mother and is,in a society that finds sex shameful,a shameful object.For Hester to try to return to Dimmesdale by "undoing" her letter is to return to him incompletely,in a manner that denies sex,denies her child.It is no wonder that Pearl objects.
What one senses here--though how opaquely!--is Hawthorne's tentative engagement with the subject of men and their mothers,his suggestion that the relation between men and their mothers was the deepest and most central core of their lives.The great liberation of The Scarlet Letter comes not only from its celebration of a woman,but of a woman who is centrally a mother (73-53).

between Hawthorne's earlier and his later productions there is no solution of literary continuity,but only increased growth and grasp.Rappaccini's Daughter,Young Goodman Brown,Peter Goldthwaite's Treasure,and The Artist of the Beautiful,on the one side,are the promise which is fulfilled in The Scarlet Letter and the House of The Seven Gables,on the other; though we should hardly have understood the promise had not the fulfillment explained it.The shorter pieces have a lyrical quality,but the longer romances express more than a mere combination of lyrics; they have a rich,multifarious life of their own.The material is so wrought as to become incidental to something loftier and greater,for which our previous analysis of the contents of the egg had not prepared us.
The Scarlet Letter was the first,and the tendency of criticism is to pronounce it the most impressive,also,of these ampler productions.It has the charm of unconsciousness; the author did not realize while he worked,that this "most prolix among tales" was alive with the miraculous vitality of genius.It combines the strength and substance of an oak with the subtle organization of a rose,and is great,not of malice aforethought,but inevitably.It goes to the root of the matter,and reaches some unconventional conclusions,which,however,would scarce be apprehended by one reader in twenty.For the external or literal significance of the story,though in strict correspondence with the spirit,conceals that spirit from the literal eye.The reader may choose his depth according to his inches but only a tall man will touch the bottom.
The punishment of the scarlet letter is a historical fact; and,apart from the symbol thus ready provided to the author's hand,such a book as The Scarlet Letter would doubtless never have existed.But the symbol gave the touch whereby Hawthorne's disconnected thoughts on the subject were united and crystallized in organic form.Evidently,likewise,it was a source of inspiration,suggesting new aspects and features of the truth,鈥攁 sort of witch-hazel to detect spiritual gold.Some such figurative emblem,introduced in a matter-of-fact way,but gradually invested with supernatural attributes,was one of Hawthorne's favorite devices in his stories.We may realize its value,in the present case,by imagining the book with the scarlet letter omitted.It is not practically essential to the plot.But the scarlet letter uplifts the theme from the material to the spiritual level.It is the concentration and type of the whole argument.It transmutes the prose into poetry.It serves as a formula for the conveyance of ideas otherwise too subtle for words,as well as to enhance the gloomy picturesqueness of the moral scenery.It burns upon its wearer's breast,it casts a lurid glow along her pathway,it isolates her among mankind,and is at the same time the mystic talisman to reveal to her the guilt hidden in other hearts.It is the Black Man's mark,and the first plaything of the infant Pearl.As the story develops,the scarlet letter becomes the dominant figure,鈥攅verything is tinged with its sinister glare.By a ghastly miracle its semblance is reproduced upon the breast of the minister,where "God's eye beheld it!the angels were forever pointing at it!the devil knew it well,and fretted it continually with the touch of his burning finger!"鈥攁nd at last,to Dimmesdale's crazed imagination,its spectre appears even in the midnight sky as if heaven itself had caught the contagion of his so zealously hidden sin.So strongly is the scarlet letter rooted in every chapter and almost every sentence of the book that bears its name.And yet it would probably have incommoded the average novelist.The wand of Prospero,so far from aiding the uninititated,trips him up,and scorches his fingers.Between genius and every other attribute of the mind is a difference not of degree,but of kind.
Every story may be viewed under two aspects:as the logical evolution of a conclusion from a premise,and as something colored and modified by the personal qualities of the author.If the latter have genius,his share in the product is comparable to nature's in a work of human art,鈥攇iving it everything except abstract form.But the majority of fiction-mongers are apt to impair rather than enhance the beauty of the abstract form of their conception,-- if,indeed,it possess any to begin with.At all events,there is no better method of determining the value of a writer's part in a given work than to consider the work in what may be termed its prenatal state.How much,for example,of The Scarlet Letter was ready made before Hawthorne touched it?The date is historically fixed at about the middle of the seventeenth century.The stage properties,so to speak,are well adapted to become the furniture and background of a romantic narrative.A gloomy and energetic religious sect,pioneers in a virgin land,with the wolf and the Indian at their doors,but with memories of England in their hearts and English traditions and prejudices in their minds; weak in numbers,but strong in spirit; with no cultivation save that of the Bible and the sword; victims,moreover of a dark and bloody superstition,鈥攕uch a people and scene give admirable relief and color to a tale of human frailty and sorrow.Amidst such surroundings,then,the figure of a woman stands,with the scarlet letter on her bosom.But here we come to a pause,and must look to the author for the next step.
For where shall the story begin?A "twenty-number" novel,of the Dickens or Thackeray type,would start with Hester's girlhood,and the bulk of the narrative would treat of the genesis and accomplishment of the crime.Nor are hints wanting that this phase of the theme had been canvassed in Hawthorne's mind.We have glimpses of the heroine in the antique gentility of her English home; we see the bald brow and reverend beard of her father,and her mother's expression of heedful and anxious love; we behold the girl's own face,glowing with youthful beauty.She meets the pale,elderly scholar,with his dim yet penetrating eyes,and the marriage,loveless on her part and folly on his,takes place; but they saw not the bale-fire of the scarlet letter blazing at the end of their path.The ill-assorted pair make their first home in Amsterdam; but at length,tidings of the Puritan colony in Massachusetts reaching them,they prepare to emigrate thither.But Prynne,himself delaying to adjust certain affairs,sends his young,beautiful,wealthy wife in advance to assume her station in the pioneer settlement.In the wild,free air of that new world her spirits kindled,and many unsuspected tendencies of her impulsive and passionate nature were revealed to her.The "rich,voluptuous,Oriental characteristics" of her temperament,her ardent love of beauty,her strong intellectual fibre,and her native energy and capacity,鈥攕uch elements needed a strong and wise hand to curb and guide them,scarcely disguised as they were by the light and graceful foliage of her innocent,womanly charm.Being left,however,for two years "to her own misguidance," her husband had little cause to wonder,when,on emerging from the forest,the first object to meet his eyes was Hester Prynne,"standing up,a statue of ignominy,before the people." She "doubtless was strongly tempted to her fall;" and though the author leaves the matter there,so far as any explicit statement is concerned,it is manifest that,had he written out what was already pictured before his imagination,the few pregnant hints scattered through the volume would have been developed into as circumstantial and laborious a narrative as any the most deliberate English or French novelist could desire.
For his forbearance he has received much praise from well-meaning critics,who seem to think that he was restrained by considerations of morality or propriety.This appears a little strained.As an artist and as a man of a certain temperament,Hawthorne treated that side of the subject which seemed to him the more powerful and interesting.But a writer who works with deep insight and truthful purpose can never be guilty of a lack of decency.Indecency is a creation,not of God or of nature,but of the indecent.And whoever takes it for granted that indecency is necessarily involved in telling the story of an illicit passion has studied human nature and good literature to poor purpose.

Quotations from
The Scarlet Letter by
Nathaniel Hawthorne,1850
One token of her shame would but poorly serve to hide another.
Nathaniel Hawthorne,The Scarlet Letter,Chapter II "The Market-Place"
Ah,but let her cover the mark as she will,the pang of it will be always in her heart.
Nathaniel Hawthorne,The Scarlet Letter,Chapter II "The Market-Place"
In our nature,however,there is a provision,alike marvellous and merciful,that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present torture,but chiefly by the pang that rankles after it.
Nathaniel Hawthorne,The Scarlet Letter,Chapter II "The Market-Place"
A bodily disease,which we look upon as whole and entire within itself,may,after all,be but a symptom of some ailment in the spiritual part.
Nathaniel Hawthorne,The Scarlet Letter,Chapter X "The Leech and His Patient"
A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.
Nathaniel Hawthorne,The Scarlet Letter,Chapter XII "The Minister抯 Vigil"
It is to the credit of human nature,that,except where its selfishness is brought into play,it loves more readily than it hates.Hatred,by a gradual and quiet process,will even be transformed to love,unless the change be impeded by a continually new irritation of the original feeling of hostility.
Nathaniel Hawthorne,The Scarlet Letter,Chapter XIII "Another View of Hester"
Let men tremble to win the hand of woman,unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart!Else it may be their miserable fortune,when some mightier touch than their own may have awakened all her sensibilities,to be reproached even for the calm content,the marble image of happiness,which they will have imposed upon her as the warm reality.
Nathaniel Hawthorne,The Scarlet Letter,Chapter XV "Hester and Pearl"
She had wandered,without rule or guidance,into a moral wilderness.Her intellect and heart had their home,as it were,in desert places,where she roamed as freely as the wild Indian in his woods.The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread.Shame,Despair,Solitude!These had been her teachers - stern and wild ones - and they had made her strong,but taught her much amiss.
Nathaniel Hawthorne,The Scarlet Letter,Chapter XVIII "A Flood of Sunshine"
But this had been a sin of passion,not of principle,nor even purpose.
Nathaniel Hawthorne,The Scarlet Letter,Chapter XVIII "A Flood of Sunshine"
She had not known the weight until she felt the freedom.
Nathaniel Hawthorne,The Scarlet Letter,Chapter XVIII "A Flood of Sunshine"
No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude,without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.
Nathaniel Hawthorne,The Scarlet Letter,Chapter XX "The Minister in a Maze"
