The novel "Magenta Letter'' by author Nathaniel Hawthorne clearly illustrates the power of love. The love of a beautiful woman named Hester Prynne for her daughter-Pearl and lover-Dimmesdale made her become brave and defiant. First, Hester's love for her daughter gave her the courage to defend Pearl and stand on the scaffold in front of the crowd to accept people's crude comments. Pearl is very important and meaningful to Hester, Pearl's existence gives her mother a reason to live, strengthens her spirit. Next, Hester's love for Dimesdale kept her from revealing the identity of Pearl's father. Hester endured his sins alone, not revealing his lover's name despite constant questioning. Hester again defended Dimmesdale by telling him her husband wanted to kill him. In short, despite the punishment and shame, the strength of love gave Hester the strength to accept, and have hope in a new life. In fact, I have not done anything to protect the person I really love so far. However, I felt my parents' love and protection for me. My parents would do anything to give me a better life and I think that is the power of love.
