The townspeople had the woman wear the initials "A" on her chest for the rest of her life, made of scarlet cloth, as a sign that she had committed adultery. The woman never reveals the name of the man she has committed adultery with, and she bears her sin alone. How does a woman live in a puritan society with strict commandments?
