The three themes: sin, revenge, and betrayal, along with many others were developed precisely by Hawthorne. Whether the connection was made through a physical aspect like committing a sin, or whether it was through a mental aspect like inner guilt, the themes were evolved. By intermingling facts with Puritan history, Hawthorne was able to create such a setting for diverse characters. Writing elements of this kind makes The Scarlet Letter a standout in American Literature.
