First Impression Journal - Micah
The characters in the book “Scarlet Letter” that I have read so far are Hester Prynne which happens to be the main character and was publicly shamed for having committed adultery mentioned in the first few chapters of the novel. Another character is Pearl who’s Hester’s daughter with a man that people in town don’t know about of. Thirdly is Roger Chillingworth who’s a doctor and lastly Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale who’s the priest. My first impression of Hester Prynne is that she’s passionate but also strong, she endures years of shame. Hester is working as a sewer, making clothes and helping other’s necessities by bringing money into charities.
Pearl who is Hester’s’ daughter, my first impression of her is that she stays away from troubles and light-hearted. She is wise despite of her young age having to do with her Mother’s scarlet letter. However, I think Pearl can be an independent person when she grows up. Another character who is introduced so far in the book is Reverend Dimmesdale who emigrated to America specifically in Boston.
My first impression of Reverend is that he has a strong belief in his faith and doesn’t show off his feelings to the public towards Hester.
The last one is Roger Chillingworth is caring because he seemed truthfully concerned for Hester’s safety and Pearl’s too when he disguises as to be doctor in the prison just to talk and fix about what had happened. Even though he longs for revenge he decides to stay in Boston despite of his wife’s betrayal and disgrace to him.

The overall tone of this piece is that its deep in thought and it’s from a third person and it has curious tone which only wants the readers to read it farther despite of its deep language. The setting of the classic novel "The Scarlet Letter" is that it takes place in Boston, England. The setting also goes into the cabin, where Hester and Pearl stay, the town and the prison.
