Puritans believed in "Save the rod and spoil the child."
The punishment given to Hester Prynne in "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is to wear a scarlet "A" on her chest for committing adultery. This punishment is meant to publicly shame and ostracize her from society, in line with the Puritan beliefs of the time.
The Puritan women might have subjected Hester Prynne to harsher public humiliation and possibly physical punishment, such as flogging or branding. They may have also advocated for more severe religious penance to atone for her sin of adultery.
The usual punishment for adultery in Puritan society was public humiliation, such as a scarlet letter "A" on the person's clothing, and possible imprisonment or even death. Hester's punishment was less severe because she refused to reveal the identity of her partner in sin. Her willingness to bear the shame and consequences alone made the community show some leniency towards her.
Other nations view imprisonment as a means of punishment and rehabilitation for criminal offenses. The approach to imprisonment varies, with some countries focusing on rehabilitation and reintegration, while others prioritize punishment and deterrence. Ultimately, the goal is to protect society, hold offenders accountable, and hopefully reduce recidivism.
punishment?

That He was one badass dude.
Puritanism was a movement rather than a separate religion who believed that The Reformation of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries did not go far enough in ridding England and Europe of the corruption stemming from the Roman Catholic Church. Their view of many crimes including witchcraft, murder and treason took a very hard line. These crimes were punishable by death.
puritan's were pilgrims
fines, flogginh, banishment, and death
Maybe sometimes
Adultery in Puritan Boston was considered a serious offense, and the punishment could include public whipping, fines, or even death by hanging, depending on the severity of the case and the religious law at the time. It was a crime not just against the spouse, but against the community as a whole.

yeah its a pay per view
evil by nature
Ceremonial Killings were a Puritan thing but if you study carefully the new Puritan's that moved to Massachusetts looking for religious freedom often did use capital punishment such as hangings and stone pressure (victim is tied to the ground and stone slabs mounted on their chest until they cease to breathe). Women were not exempt from such deaths. However, for smaller crimes such as gossiping, Puritans would actually sew the gossiping women's eyes and mouth shut so they could see no evil or speak no evil. Sadly i do not know the exact name of this ritual/punishment.
