Hestor Prynne Questions

1. Why is Hestor described with "a burning blush, and yet a haughty smile" (47)? This woman is a living opposition to herself. Why did Hawthorne write her like this?
2. Why is Hestor described as such an awful mother?
3. Why won't Hestor name her 'partner in crime?' Is it out of love? Fear? Anger? Guilt? Shame? Etc.
