love is a curse

I read the German version of "The Scarlet Letter" first, then this version. I think this sequence helps me to understand the completeness of the story. The suspense left by the former has been supplemented in this book. A good ending and a bad ending also satisfy the dual pursuit of joy and sorrow.
I was heartbroken when I read Pastor Ding's sermon. Seems to see the power of that belief.

Believe that everything is the will of God.

Your sudden appearance strikes me as a wonderful fright.

Our inner voice is the true voice from heaven.

Who can say what sin is in the eyes of God?

The husband's revenge is also the atonement in the dark.

    Demi Moore is beautiful! Be strong, be strong! The strongest female figure in the history of American literature! (I thought it was Hao Sijia before)

    Hollywood makes famous novels, and one ruins the other. The director's concept of this film is very mainstream, and his level is not in the mainstream. He actually changed the shocking tragic ending of the original book into a Hollywood-style reunion. This is blatant vulgarization. Hawthorne knew from heaven that he should spit this director's face with syphilis.

The Scarlet Letter quotes

  • Hester Prynne: [the elder is about to pin the A on her blousse] Why do you wait? Put it on, for it is not a badge of my sin but your own.

  • Pearl: My father died before I reached my teens. Some say that was a punishment. My mother never remarried or loved another. Some say THAT was a punishment.
