The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
In "The Scarlet Letter," Jonathan Pue is an elderly man who was the former custom-house surveyor in Salem and the narrator of the story. He discovers the scarlet letter and manuscript that tell Hester Prynne's story in the old surveyor's office. Pue's discovery serves as the Framing Device for the narrative.
In the prologue to the story Hawthorne says that he found the Scarlett Letter preserved in the archives of the Salem Historical Society. Whether this is true or only more fiction is for the reader to decide.
The letter A was the letter for the scarlet letter.
The letter on the chest of Hester Prynne's dress is a scarlet letter A. A for adultery.
Arthur Dimmesdale is the father of Hester's baby in The Scarlet Letter. However, this fact is not revealed until later in the story.
One example of foreshadowing in "The Scarlet Letter" is when Hester Prynne's daughter Pearl is described as having a wild and uncontrollable nature, which foreshadows the challenges she will pose for Hester in the future. Another example is the initial introduction of the scarlet letter itself, which hints at the shame and punishment that will follow Hester throughout the story.
