      <title>“The letter was the symbol of her calling. Such helpfulness was found in her – so much power to do and power to sympathize – that many people refused to interpret the scarlet “A” by its original signification. They said that it meant “Able”; so strong was Hester Prynne, with a woman’s strength.” by Lauren Fitzpatrick</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The scarlet letter A that Hestor wears stands for “Adulterer”, and she has to wear this because she committed this sin. However, instead of being ashamed, she wears the letter with a sense of pride as she owns up to what she did.

This development has caused people to ignore the bad stigma that surrounds the “A” and have instead redefined it to mean “Able”. This new definition stems from the strength of character that Hester has shown from her growth past her sin.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The letter A soon became a part of her and her character. She helped society more than she helped herself and that caused the townspeople to realize how strong she has been. She lived through all the suffering and pain the scarlet letter has given her, yet she still continues to give back. This causes the people to recognize the letter A as a symbol of Hester’s strength and her resilience rather than the seeing it as a punishment due to her sins. She is seen as someone who is “able” to live on with her guilt.</div>]]></description>
