Hester at her Needle:
1. Do you think Hester believes what she did was wrong? It says she will now be the "general symbol at which the preacher and moralist might point, and in which they might vivify and embody their images of women's frailty and sinful passion." (71). However, do you think she thinks she is the reality of a sin, or does she stand by what she did?
2. It says Hester grew to have a dread for children because they "had imbibed from their parents a vague idea of something horrible in this dreary woman." (76). Does this show the uniformity and strict ways of the Puritan society?
