The Scarlet Letter Why was the grave built next to the prison in The Scarlet Letter? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 10:23 Last updated by anonymous on 10 Sep 22:53
According to tradition we are told that were always two things that the founding fathers built when they started a new colony: a prison and a graveyard. It was possibly built for convenience, but we aren't really told that directly.
