The Scarlet Letter had always sounded like an intriguing book but I never knew just how in-depth it went into how the people that were governed by Puritans lived. Reading this background makes me even more anxious to find out what brought Hester to committing adultery and how she deals with it. From this background, I can tell that the book and the 21st century remake of it (Easy A) are similar yet different and hopefully, I'll be able to spot the differences along my journey of reading this incredible story.
Great Post. Glad you have your blog going. You can post back to me. I love the pictures. I just saw the old 1930s version last night on youtube.
ReplyDeletethank you! was it good? i heard that the original is 10x better than the remake with Demi Moore.
ReplyDeleteby the way, where are the questions for the Scarlet Letter that you said would be on the blog?
