Status Updates From The Scarlet Letter

I am not sure why I am re-reading so many parts of this story and taking my time with this novel. Many reasons perhaps, but the main one is that I really enjoy the way Hawthorne sculpts his characters from the inside out. As the story goes on, the physical descriptions of each character grows based on their internal moral, spiritual and emotional descriptions. So very interesting.

One chapter in and I already want to kill myself

I am not having a good time.
