The quote:

“The act of writing the novel, will, therefore, exculpate Hawthorne’s Puritan forebears’ now and henceforth’. It is no wonder, therefore, given his self-admitted reason for writing the novel, why he revises what Hester’s fate would have been into the tale he tells. In order to remove the burden of guilt and responsibility from his male forbears, he must rewrite woman’s history.” Louise De Salvo, 508
