This shows that Hester still keeps this unnamed man close to heart. She still cares for him, even though she now knows that her husband is actually alive.]]> 2019-03-30 21:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/pharrison16/539s58n8v6of/wish/346824272 releigh_ski20 https://padlet.com/pharrison16/539s58n8v6of/wish/346834528 On page 49, it says,"...he laid his forefinger on the scarlet letter, which forthwith seemed to scorch into Hester's breast, as if it had been red hot."

Her spirit could only shelter itself beneath a stony crust of insensibility, while the faculties of animal life remained entire” p. 46
Here nature is used as a symbol for the Puritan lifestyle while the animal life represents that Puritan people within in the community who believed they were perfect when judging Hester. ]]> 2019-04-03 14:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/pharrison16/539s58n8v6of/wish/348076085 carley_eas20 https://padlet.com/pharrison16/539s58n8v6of/wish/349206263 Pearl and Hester are the "same person," Pearl is external version of Hester's emotions. ]]> 2019-04-07 02:18:41 UTC https://padlet.com/pharrison16/539s58n8v6of/wish/349206263 releigh_ski20 https://padlet.com/pharrison16/539s58n8v6of/wish/349268115 When Hester notices the father of Pearl, she sees him regularly.

Parallels (cottage & Hester): 
Seems it should be concealed but isn’t similar to her sin (her personal business that no one should be judging her for etc). 
Lonesome, without anyone to care for it and love it 
Soil too sterile for forming = her “toxicity," no one wants to be around her or "settle down" with her
Abandoned & out of social activity = she isn't close with anyone and no one wants to be close with her
Looking to west = looking towards future and seeing something better and more beautiful but unable to move

The cottage was a symbol of Hester feeling isolated and alone from everyone. The cottage was just enough to where people could see her, but to where she wasn't included. This was a perfect representation of Hester's life from now on. ]]> 2019-04-07 23:49:27 UTC https://padlet.com/pharrison16/539s58n8v6of/wish/349317461 katherine_gre20 https://padlet.com/pharrison16/539s58n8v6of/wish/349360867 Pearl being the embodiment of sin yet Hester sees her as such a valued and prized possession.]]> 2019-04-08 04:45:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pharrison16/539s58n8v6of/wish/349360867 katherine_ram20 https://padlet.com/pharrison16/539s58n8v6of/wish/349489356 In chapter 4, Hester was physically able to go anywhere, however emotionally she felt stuck and connected to the crime scene. I found it very interesting how even the glimpse of her baby's father was worth all the scrutiny she faced by choosing to stay in the town. ]]> 2019-04-08 13:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/pharrison16/539s58n8v6of/wish/349489356 kennedy_whi20 https://padlet.com/pharrison16/539s58n8v6of/wish/351199351 The difference between the older generation and the younger generation.
