Thesis/content discussion Scarlet Letter Essay

Thesis: The change in meaning of the letter A in the scarlet letter leads to hypocrisy and controversy amongst the main characters in the book. The letter A, initially means adultry, atleast amongst the main characters in the book, over the course of the book it comes to mean angel, however it also stands for or is believed to be a sign of sin. The letter is imprinted on hester's chest and could show the transformation of hester herself and how she and others see her A from start to finish. I may change my thesis to explain the relationship between the change of meaning in the A and the change of Hester throughout the book, along with her hypocratic view on the letter on her chest throughout the book. `
