Who would you consider the main character of The Scarlet Letter? Why?
In my opinion, I would consider Hester Prynne as the main character of The Scarlet Letter. I believe Hester is the main character because without her, there would not be a novel. Reverend Dimmesdale would not have any sin to hide that would almost cause him death by not admitting to the sin. Pearl would have not been conceived. Lastly, Roger Chillingsworth would not have caused himself an early death by making it his sole purpose in life to seek revenge on Reverend Dimmesdale for inpregnating Hester.
Hester travels through the story becoming only a shadow of her former self because of the sin she has to live with forever. Othe
