The Scarlet Letter opens with a group of men and women talking about the prisoner, Hester. The women are very manly, and they are talking about the wrong doings of Hester. Hester then comes forth to the crowd of people holding her child, Pearl, and a red scarlet letter embroided on her chest. She seems to be very proud of the letter because she doesn't take any interest in hiding it. The towns people follow her through town as she has to stand forth on a steeple in a stockade for three hours. The scene closes with a flashback of Hester's life.
