The atmosphere in The Scarlet Letter is generally cold and oppressive. The Puritan society in which Hester and the other characters live is not friendly, and certainly is not friendly to Hester herself. The atmosphere also takes mysterious turns as Hawthorne starts to reveal to the reader who the father of Hester's daughter is.
