Classically, the genre of romantic writing involves the anticipated intertwining of the lives of two lovers and, to their misfortune, their acts of infidelity and deceit. Brought to popularity by the author himself, Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is a prime example of early Romanticism. Through the unexpected lives of Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale, the catastrophic events that inevitably occur within a hidden romantic relationship unfold, leading individuals to a singular outcome. Having permanently established their relationship through their little Pearl, the two delve into their own unique forms of self-punishment under the impression that this will allow for reconciliation and, as a result, a more hopeful future. Ignoring their motivations to better themselves, Roger Chillingworth peppers the unpredictable pair with weighty questions and a significant presence as he searches for the true identity of Pearl's father. In due course, the lover's furtive values ​​fade away and the desire to confess one's sins together prevails as a legitimate substitute. Living under the classification of very dissimilar social positions, Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale arrive at an identical fate through their different paths. Demonstrating their mutual need to maintain secrecy and cultivate unhappiness in their independent lives, Hester and Dimmesdale use different and unconventional methods as sources to cope with their sin-tainted hearts. “On the same day that Hester Prynne first wore her ignominious badge,” Dimmesdale begins his fateful seven-year journey of self-defeat by “extorting hideous tortures from himself” (Hawthorne 211). Unfortunately, beyond any imaginable fantasy, Dimmesdale... at the center of the paper... in the shameful limelight of the Puritans. In their earthly lives, Hester and Dimmesdale's decision to escape the confines of Boston together becomes an unachievable feat, but they find themselves once again in their immortal lives as, after their burial "a tombstone [serves] for them both" ( 215) . Unpredictably, Hester and Dimmesdale's mutually decisive goal of unity is achieved in their afterlife due to the Puritan's intrusive awareness of their relationship. Supposedly, the Puritans give Hester and Dimmesdale a joint tombstone to signify their unity in sin; however, the indestructible duo unite endlessly in their eternal lives. Experiencing stressors appropriate to their specific journeys, Hester and Dimmesdale's desire to publicly display their unity overrides their contrasting lives as they are ultimately led to an identical legacy..
