The Interview
1. Why is Chillingworth willing to help Hester and her child recover? What does he want to know?
2. What is it about him that scares Hester most of all, especially when he looks at the Scarlet Letter?
Hester at her Needle
1. Why does Hester think "There was nothing that made her feel as if she belonged to it" in reference to her town's society?
2. Towards the end of the chapter, Hester believes she is able to see, or at least sense, the sins committed by others. Do you think she does, and if so, why? What does this say about the nature of sinning? If you think this is a product of her imagination, does that mean she is slipping to madness over being outcast?
