The Scarlet Letter
Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter (Ch 1-7) -- American Literature, 1800-1915 (EL 266)
I think Hawthorne is trying to make this story into a mystery by not letting us know who the father of Pearl is. As we talked about in class, all of the women in the village have the question hanging over their heads if their husband could possibly who Hester committed adultery with.
