Regarded as the first real heroine of American fiction, it is Hester Prynne's strength of character that resonates with the reader when her harsh sentence is cast. It is in her refusal to reveal the identity of the father in the face of her accusers that Hawthorne champions his heroine and berates the weakness of Society for attacking the innocent.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Born in 1804, Nathaniel Hawthorne is known for his historical tales and novels about American colonial society.
