The Scarlet Letter
58Watch it awake.
She wears the town's shame in public while the child's father keeps his post.
The review
She bears the child, and the town makes her wear the letter. The minister who is the father hides. The husband watches. Hawthorne puts the public shame on her and leaves him in his office. I knew the premise. The reading still made me angry on her behalf, which is the right kind of angry.
Talk about the lie, not about the sin as a show. His hidden office is the lie. She is already standing where the town can see her, with the child. A teen can read it. If this house has ever piled the blame on the person who couldn't hide, this is the night for that talk. It is not a cozy one. The letter is a machine the town likes too much.

The glance
Industry and Piety are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Heidi
64 instead of 58
Heidi is still a novel film, and it scores 64 instead of 58. What you gain is industry: A city house hires her as a companion, and that use makes her sick.
