"Youthful men, not having taken a deep root, give up their hold of life so easily! And saintly men who walk with God on earth, would fain be way, it walk with him on the golden pavements of the New Jerusalem."
I think this means that people who are younger and less devoted to God are morally weaker while people who are devoted to God will be with him in heaven.

"...the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, like many other personages of especial sanctity, in all ages of the Christian world, was haunted by either Satan himself, or Satan's emissary, in the guise of old Roger Chillingworth."

This quote shows clearly that Dimmesdale feels as though he is being haunted and punished for his sin. It also shows that Roger Chillingworth's intentions are definitely impure.

"Her matronly frame was trodden under all mens feet. Infamy was babbling around her in the public market place. For her kindred, should the tidings every reach them, and for the companions of her unspotted life, there remained nothing but the congregation of her dishonor."
I think this applies to life because sometimes you mess up and you never forgiven for the mistake you've made. People are not forgiving most of the time and neither is the world but Hester eventually learns to forgive herself in a way so she can move on even if the towns folk haven't. Meaning its important to forgive yourself for your mistake even if others haven't.

(ive read this story before so spoiler alert, dont read if you want to find out for yourself) Quote: "The motherly care of the good widow assigned to Mr. Dimmesdale a front apartment, with a sunny exposure, and heavy window-cutains, to create a noontide shadow, when desirable. The walls were hung round with tapestry, said to be from the Gobelin looms, and at all events, representing the Scriptural story of David and Bathsheba..." (ch 9 pg 116 para 1) Basically the author is making a reference to an old verse in the bible talking about david and bathsheba. Bathsheba had a husband and david killed him so that he could be adulturous with bathsheba. Rev. Dimmesdale is the one who impregnated Hester. So the room probably constantly torments the reverand because hes reminded of the sin he commited.

The significance to this quote to the story is showing the excitement of the town for the event that takes place with Hester Prynne. This also shows significance to everyday life because when something happens in our towns there is an excitement among the people. For example, if Silverdale obtained a n In & Out Burger the people in Silverdale who love In & Out would be excited and there would be so much joy just like what is happening in this quote.

There are lots of moments that can be brought to be important parts of the book. This one I believe is no different.

i think that what is trying to be said about this is that when you dont really trust anybody and you think that they are the ones who have a problem and that you are perfect, you lose sight of the real problem and that is that you are the problem and you think everybody is against you.
