The Scarlet Letter: Hester
“Time heals all” is a saying that many people have come to use or agree with. ... Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel, The Scarlet Letter raises this question very strongly. ... “When the young woman-the mother of this child-stood fully revealed before the crowd, it seemed to be her first impulse to clasp the infant closely to her bosom… as that she might thereby conceal a certain token, which was wrought or fastened into her dress… One the breast of her gown, in fine red cloth, surrounded with an elaborate embroidery and fantastic flourishes of gold thread, appeared the letter A. ... 2) Hester was forced to wear the letter “A” upon her dress to openly display her sin of adultery, which was a mandatory action during this period. ... The only thing she possessed was the scarlet letter, and she no longer had an identity beyond that. ...
