As we begin reading The Scarlet letter, we get a mouth full of a different era. Howthorne starts off the chapter with the description of one of the first buliding Built when the town was discovered. The prison. He discribes it as a gloom, rusty, old Building. As got further into the book, i began to realize hwo hard these puritain were on each other. Everything they did was based on religion. Basically you did anything to disturb the peace, youll be look down upon. the worst part is that no one will feel sorry for you. They dont care, becuase in their eyes you commited a sin, and you should be punished. And what about those women who spoke so harsly of Hester. Saying she was a whore and that her punishment you have been more severe. Who are they to decide that? Lets just say that the puritain life was anything but "open minded."
