Modern Comparison

Throughout the novel The Scarlet Letter you find yourself traveling through a journey with the protagonist, Hester Prynne, and all of the positive and negative things she seems to face during her younger and older life time period. Within the novel Hester is put to shame because she has an affair with the community minister and the town finds out. Through the rest of the novel Hester is judged because of that one incident and to justify that it never happens again she is forced to wear a scarlet letter. I compare this situation with today's society because recently individuals are quickly to judge anyone based on the things that were done in the past, the present, and things that may happen in the future.
