Easy A is a movie created by director Will Gluck. The movie is about a high schooler
who lies and loses her respect throughout the school. Most people who have watched this movie
know that it’s trying to compare itself to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s famous book The Scarlet Letter.
The movie compares itself in some well thought out ways like how Olive is an outcast from her
peers after everyone learned about her lie. Like how Hester was out casted from society because
of her sin but the movie is not as similar as people think. Easy A has many differences compared

The movie occasionally uses a complicated word as a way to reference Hawthorne’s writing but

makes constant reminders to the viewers of the film how the movie is like The Scarlet Letter, this
would make people want to watch the movie because it involves this book yet they don’t use the
words like Hawthorne did when he wrote it. That isn’t the worst thing the movie did. The
protagonist in this film is barely related to Hawthorne’s original story.
The plot of Nathanial Hawthorne’s story is an original storyline and idea that many
people use as a way to base some of their stories. The film wasn’t related to it much at all. Hester
Prynne is the protagonist in Hawthorne’s story. She was punished for giving birth to a child
through the sinful act of adultery and is sworn to wear a scarlet A for the rest of her life.
