Summary

SuperSummary, a modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, offers high-quality instructional study guides for challenging works of literature. This audio study guide for The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne includes detailed summary and analysis of each chapter and an in-depth exploration of the book’s multiple symbols, motifs, and themes such as sin, punishment, and forgiveness; the self in society and in private; gender norms and relationships between men and women; and the weight of the past. Featured content also includes commentary on major characters, 25 important quotes, essay questions, and discussion topics.

Set in the 1600s in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, this classic of the American Romantic era tells the story of Hester Prynne, a Puritan woman who had an affair, gave birth to a daughter, and is thus sentenced to wear a scarlet letter “A” for adultery. The novel suggests that it is partly because she has “sinned” that Hester has such a keen sense of compassion; her personal experience of guilt and sadness leads her to empathize where others might condemn.

This audio study guide presents the same expert content - written by experienced teachers, professors, and literary scholars - in an easy-to-access audio format. SuperSummary study guides demonstrate an authoritative voice, present expert analysis, offer big picture ideas, and help listeners understand a work’s underlying meanings and conclusions.
