The Scarlett Letter on Hester's bosom is what is standing out
the most so far, hence the title. In the book it says wearing
it kind of tortures her day by day. Instead of people looking
at her as an individual, they would now look at her as the
scarlett letter because it seems as if it's consuming her as
an individual. Now I think for further generations in Boston
anyone would criticize people of Hester's descent. Also,
people would refer to her if another occurrence happened like
that of hers.
It was strange when the stranger kept looking her in her eye
and asking about her. Then I think he came to visit her in
jail; I'm not positive if that was actually the case, but
that's what I got from it. That made me wonder if that was
the person she had an affair with since she doesn't want to
tell who it is, although it does say he is even a stranger to
her. If it is indeed the person she had an affair with, then
it would take away the individuality from her and focus on
both of them as a couple of some sort that should be
condemned.
