The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
4.0

(3,5 stars)

"These (sinners) deceive themselves...They fear to take up the shame that rightfully belongs to them. Their love for man, their zeal for God's service, - these holy impulses may or may not coexist in their hearts with the evil inmates to which their guilt has unbarred the door, and which must needs propagate a hellish breed within them." (The Scarlet Letter, p. 93).
