A modern day "Scarlet Letter"


Recent media exposure has taken Tiger Woods’ flawless life and shown the true Woods. Early this year a lady came out saying she had an affair with Tiger Woods. Soon women from all over started saying the same and claimed to be Woods’ mistresses. Due to the media Woods has become a modern day Hester Prynne from The Scarlet Letter. Woods has been publically ostracized for his behavior just as Prynne was in the book. A mistake like adultery is a private matter that tears families apart; the public does not to need to know about it. Woods does not literally have to wear a “scarlet letter”, but he might as well. Every where Woods goes he is publically humiliated and it is not easy on the family either. I guess Woods is just our generations’ Hester Prynne.
