Scarlet Letter

The main character of the movie are Hester, Dimmesdale, Dillingwell and Pearl.The story starts off almost immediately in which the viewer finds Hester Prynne, holding her daughter, Pearl, in her arms, standing in front of the congregation. She is on trial for having the child out of wedlock and because she refuses to name the father of her baby, for her humiliation and punishment she must wear the scarlet letter "A" over her bosom. Roger Prynne, Hester's old husband, returns home from his long sea journey to find his young wife has beared forth a child that is obviously not his, thus, and to save face, decides to be known through the community as Doctor Roger Dillingwell. Hester, in turn keeps her husband's identity a secret, knowing that his avenge is to learn the father's identity. While Hester was working, Hester's daughter, Pearl, must face her own humiliation by being an outcast to the neighborhood children. They refused to play with her, and being insulted by their mothers, unaware as to why she is being treated just as cruelly as her mother, who steps in on Pearl's behalf after one scene finding Pearl getting mud thrown at her by the other children. As for the Rev. Arthur Dimmesdale , he silently suffers for being worshiped by his congregation, unable to confess to all, through a promise he had made to Hester to keep silent, that he is the one responsible for Hester's guilt, and continues to suffer until the climax. At the end he stand in front of the congregation and think that he should be there and to protact her when Hester was trail. He died and confess to everyone that he is the father. Personally, after seeing "The Scarlet Letter" I think, it is a good movie. The movie starts with the lady holding her daughter and is on trail for having the child out of wedlock. It shows the strong Christianity norms. However, It show that as a human being, we all can did mistakes and we cannot judge anyone without reasoning.
