The Scarlet Letter is written by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1850.

Explanation:

1. The Revelation of The Scarlet Letter in the "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is Dimmesdale reveals at the scaffold his sin. he confesses before the crowd what he should have revealed seven years before, that he is the father of Pearl. And that he deserves punishment.

My interpretation to this is that though Dimmesdale correctly confessed his sin, which he should have done earlier, but the punishment he chose for himself was not right. God is a merciful God, if he had confessed his sin, God would have definitely forgiven him. Just like God forgave King David. But the condition is of course not to repeat after repenting.

2. The symbolism of Scarlet Letter "A" changed over the course of the novel. At first it represented for Adulteress, then it changed to "Able.

3. The final stand on scaffold is vital as it reveals that Dimmesdale was the  one, the fellow-sinner of Hester.

4. Pearl is changed into a woman after she kisses Dimmesdale.

5. The townspeople interpret this by saying that not only Hester but a minister can fall victim of sin.

6. Chillingworth dies "withered up, shrivelled away and almost vanished from mortal sight.."
