Hester Prynne's daughter, Pearl, is the product of an illicit affair but no one knows Pearl's father's identity. Hester's refusal to name him brings condemnation upon her, but she stands strong in the face of public scorn, even when forced to wear the sign of her shame sewn onto her clothes - the scarlet letter A for adulteress.
