Escrita en 1850 por Nathaniel Hawthorne, La letra escarlata está considerada como un clásico de la literatura norteamericana del siglo XIX. Cuando el marido de Ester Prynne vuelve tras dos años de ausencia, ella es acusada de adulterio y condenada a llevar en su pecho una “A”, para que su adulterio quede expuesto ante todos. Ester intenta vivir con dignidad y sin revelar la identidad del padre de su hija en el contexto de una sociedad injusta e hipócrita. El reverendo Dimmensdale, el auténtico padre de la niña, no revela su pecado para poder seguir siendo un miembro respetado en la comunidad. La culpa y el remordimiento lo atormentan durante todo el relato. Enmarcada en la era del puritanismo, constituye una crítica del autor contra el fanatismo y la falsa moral del puritanismo. Hawthorne desarrolla la historia sobre el trasfondo de tres grandes temas literarios: la gracia divina, la justicia y el castigo.
