The Interview
1. Why is Hester so reluctant to trust Chillingworth? Do you think he can be trusted with her and the baby?
2. Chillingworth apologetically speaks about how both he and Hester "wronged each other". Do you think he plans on returning his marriage with her to its previous state (before she left for America)?
Hester at Her Needle
1. Despite being allowed to move away from her punishment and the town, Hester chose to stay behind because, "her sins,.. were the roots which she had struck into the soil." (71) What does Hester mean by this and what caused her to think this way?
2. Why does Hester continue to fuel the hypocrisy of the town by doing charity work or making fancy clothing for those who continuously insult her?
