Ok... I have to admit, I had never heard of the book "The Scarlet Letter". I hated reading in high school and rarely read the things I was supposed to for English class or any other class for that matter. So, when I read "The Scarlet Letter" it was a whole new reading for me. It took me awhile to get into the book and to actually understand what was going on but once I did, I enjoyed it. I really wish I would have gotten into these types of books earlier in life, when I actually had time to read books. Now, it seems like I only read what I have to because there isn't time for any pleasure reading. I don't even read the newspaper anymore.
Once I read "The Scarlet Letter" I wanted to know if they had ever made it into a movie... After very little searching, I found that it WAS made into a movie. I really figured it had been, considering it was such a great read, but really thought that I would have either seen it or at least heard of it! At one time, years before I had a child, I actually sat down and watched a movie or two on occasion. The movie came out in 1995 and was titled "The Scarlet Letter" just like the book. As I said, I have never seen it but now that I have read the book, I am going to have to find a copy and watch it to see how it compares to the book. It is amazing the things you are able to find with the use of the internet! What did we ever do without it?
