== == The Scarlet Letter is a classic novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1850. It is about a woman who commits adultery and becomes pregnant. The story tells of the problems she has to face everyday in her home town of Boston, Massachusetts. When asked who the father of her child is, she refuses to give up a name and is forced to wear a scarlet 'A' (for adultress) on the bosom of all her clothing so everyone will recognize her for "who she really is".
Hester's last name was Prynne. Her daughter's, Pearl, last name was also Prynne. It is unknown whether Prynne was her last name from her marriage to 'Chillingworth' or if it was her maiden name.
Chillingworth's real name is Roger Prynne. In Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel "The Scarlet Letter," he adopts the pseudonym Roger Chillingworth in order to conceal his true identity and exact revenge on Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale.
Doctor Roger Prynne was his REAL NAME and Doctor Chillingworth was the false name he used.
