The Scarlet Letter Analyse 'The Scarlet letter' as a psychological novel?

This is a really interesting question. It pretty much entails a Freudian interpretation of A Scarlet Letter. ID is our primal drives. I suppose Hester and Rev.Dimmesdale had primal drives which resulted in Pearl. There was allot of sexual repression in Puritan Communities. Sex for reasons other than procreation was frowned upon. This was a very unhappy place. The Ego strives to satisfy the ID while keeping things in the context of reality. Reality in Scarlet Letter being repression and adherence to puritan interpretation. So, Hester wears the letter and is humiliated. Thus everyone feels better about punishing Hester for doing something they all want to do anyway. The super- ego demands the opposite of the ID, a kind of perfection. Hester becomes pious and hard working; she changes the meaning of her Scarlett Letter. Hester becomes a symbol, not as the village strumpet, but of godly devotion and penance. She changes her ID into her Super-Ego. Pretty cool!
