Question

What is the Scarlet Letter about? My teacher said that it was about nothing and I think that she is an idiot
I thought that the book was in fact, poking at religions about how they preach people to do one thing, but they in fact do the other. thought that it was about human nature and that people, in fact, are born quotsinfulquot as you may call it. And even though Hester worn her sin on her bosom, the rest of the village were hiding behind secret sin. But according to my English Advanced teacher, the book is about NOTHING.

Answer

You are absolutely right. Youve understood the book perfectly, and anyone who claims that the book is about quotnothingquot is obviously full of himselfherself and is into nonsensical theories of how to read and interpret literature. Probably brainwashed by some college course or professor.
