Massachusetts Bay was a theocratic society, or a
society in which the lines between church
and state were blurred. Church membership,
for example, was required for men to vote
for elected local officials. The intent of many
of the colony's laws was regulation of
personal behavior based on Puritan values.
Single men and women could not live on
their own. Disrespectful servants, errant
husbands, and disobedient wives were
subject to civil penalties, and rebellious
children could even be put to death. The laws
also provided a degree of protection for
women by punishing abusive men and
compelling fathers to support their children.

Analysis—Chapters 1–2 These chapters introduce the reader to Hester
Prynne and begin to explore the theme of sin, along with its connection to
knowledge and social order. The chapters’ use of symbols, as well as their
depiction of the political reality of Hester Prynne’s world, testify to the
contradictions inherent in Puritan society. This is a world that has already
“fallen,” that already knows sin: the colonists are quick to establish a prison
and a cemetery in their “Utopia,” for they know that misbehavior, evil, and
death are unavoidable. This belief fits into the larger Puritan doctrine, which
puts heavy emphasis on the idea of original sin—the notion that all people
are born sinners because of the initial transgressions of Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden.
But the images of the chapters—the public gatherings at the prison and at the
scaffold, both of which are located in central common spaces—also speak to
another Puritan belief: the belief that sin not only permeates our world but
that it should be actively sought out and exposed so that it can be punished
publicly. The beadle reinforces this belief when he calls for a “blessing on the
righteous Colony of the Massachusetts, where iniquity is dragged out into the
sunshine.” His smug self-righteousness suggests that Hester’s persecution
is fueled by more than the villagers’ quest for virtue. While exposing sin is
meant to help the sinner and provide an example for others, such exposure
does more than merely protect the community. Indeed, Hester becomes a
scapegoat, and the public nature of her punishment makes her an object for
voyeuristic contemplation; it also gives the townspeople, particularly the
