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. 0 text unmediated volume lcc BK jpascua 2019-06-21 09:55:18 jderpo 2019-07-31 11:04:05 11211 11121 11121 0 0 ddc 0 0 BED BED BED 2025-12-21 NULL HS1640 2026-06-18 00:00:00 2025-12-21 BK
