Then vs. Now

Change isn't necessarily good. The Scarlet Letter showed me how much this world had changed. Adultery is so common this generation that it is almost like it's accepted. It seems as if this world keeps moving towards a new generation, the more sinning there will be. When Hester was found as an adulterer, the townspeople and even the government scolded at her. Now, when teenage girls get pregnant, it seems like the subject is not so significant anymore.
