Every person knows that with sins come consequences. However, in the book, The Scarlet Letter it seems that the characters forget that small detail. The three main characters are Mr. Dimmsdale, Mr. Chillingworth, and Hester, and all commit sins and suffer the consequences. Although they all commit different sins, they all seem to have some of the same consequences.

Hester Prynne is the wife to Roger Prynne who changes his last name to Chillingworth, and Hester commits adultery with Dimmsdale. This sin had many consequences, some being good while others were not. One of her consequences is she has a daughter and people look at her as the product of sin. This is not that bad of a thing for i

Throughout the book it talks about all the sins and consequences they had. If the characters had thought before they acted they would not have had to suffer the consequences. Just like people today though, they let their emotions get the best of them and in the end hto had pay for it one way or another.

Another one of the key characters is Mr. Dimmsdale, whom is the preacher for the church and also committed adultery with Hester but does not admit to committing adultery until the end of the story. When Hester is confronted about committing adultery she does not tell who she committed it with and instead of standing up and admitting to being the one, Dimmsdale hid it from everyone. Doing this caused him great pain and sorrow. Every day
