what is the scarlet letter?

Question

in general, not the book.

Answer 1

its a BIG RED "A" put on an Adulteress

Answer 2

Well, if I remember correctly, the Invisible Man made a mistake and became invisible... and therefore was able to do some things that no one knew he was doing. While in the Scarlet Letter, everyone knew about the girl's mistake and she was shamed for it in public. In both cases, the mistakes were eventually overcome and people went on about their business.

So, I guess your problem is identifying the point you're trying to prove? And, since only you know the answer to that, you'll have to decide how you want to say whatever it is you're trying to get across.

Answer 3

You cannot really separate the letter from the book because it started with the book.

The first answer is correct, in the sense that, it is the letter A for Adultery.

Answer 4

The scarlet letter in general is basically the letter of your crime in hester's case its adultry and thats why she waears the red A on all of her clothing

Answer 5

it is a scarlett (or reddish colored) capital letter "A," which is permanently embroidered on a shirt. The a stands for ADULTERY because the person has been convicted of this crime. The purpose of the scarlett letter is to serve as a permanent reminder that the invidual has committed this heinous act of sin and debauchery.
