I feel this story is going to be one that I can't take my eyes off. The themes of this story seem very attention-grabbing. It sounds like a story people can relate to and have their own personal views about the situation. The plot about Hester Prynne and her situation of committing adultery while being away from her husband for two years, draws me into knowing how she will handle this. I've read from other sites that she ends up in jail for what she did. It’s totally unjust and unfortunate that she had to be punished for something such as that. She hasn't seen her husband in a really long time. Couples of today would probably call it quits if they had to go on without each other for a long time, unless they really love each other. Though, I guess it’s bound to happen with couples that distance from each other, that adultery happens. I find the controversy with this situation to be fascinating, especially how the puritans’ feel towards it. I feel Hester shouldn’t have been jailed for what she did. It’s not her fault that she and her husband were separated. Love works in strange ways and with Hester, love had different plans for her. Even if she was still with her husband, Hester’s heart belonged to another man who she bared his child. Love shouldn’t be punished even if it was a sinful kind of love.

Beautiful design! It will be interesting to see if your attitude toward Hester changes as we delve deeper into the book. She is a rather complicated character.
