Hester committed adultery with Dimmesdale and she had to live with the humiliation and guilt for the rest of her life. When Pearl was born, people were describing Pearl as Hester's karma.
- Women and femininity: Hester went through a lot of hardships such as abnormal behaviors of Pearl, or criticisms of the residents of the town. She had no hope of recovering her former social status, even if she wanted to. However, she managed to get through the hardships, as a woman in the men dominance society. Pearl also created strengths in Hester and made her believe in herself. Her well manners soon changed how the townspeople view her. From a scarlet letter that supposed to have a negative connotation, Hester made it her own idenity. People no longer no longer associate the letter A on her chest with adultery, instead, they view it as "able", which represents the her ability to accomplish anything. ]]> 2018-09-11 13:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tl02163/lenhatthangg/wish/279863434 tl02163 https://padlet.com/tl02163/lenhatthangg/wish/279863667 - The Meteor: symbolizes for the message from God. When Dimmesdale and Hester meet each other and hold Pearl's hands, a meteor streaks across the sky. The meteor was shaped like a letter 'A', the minister therefore thinks God was trying to expose his secret to the world. The minister tries to inform the townspeople about his sin and how he's not as good as people think; however, the people keep praising him and interpret "A" as 'angel', which frustrates the minister.
- The Red Mark: Similar to Hester, Dimmesdale also has a symbol on his chest too, in blood. Since both Hester and Dimmesdale had committed adultery, the symbols on their chest have the same connotation, which is sin. Since the minister refuses to confess, his mark stays more permanent than Hester's. Therefore, the red mark could also stand for coward and dishonesty. ]]> 2018-09-11 13:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/tl02163/lenhatthangg/wish/279863667 tl02163 https://padlet.com/tl02163/lenhatthangg/wish/279863755 - Roles of Women: Women were farm hands, tending their vegetable gardens. They were responsible for taking care for their husbands and guiding their kids. There were high rates of birthrates and infant morality. Despite this, women were pushed to have many children despite the danger of it. The school attendant rates of girls were low, but most of them have basic education.
- Rights of Women: women were prohibited from voting in the General Court. Women also were unable to sell land or sue in a court of law. Like any other conservative society, women were viewed as inferior. Married women could not sue for divorce. This time of era was extremely segregated. ]]> 2018-09-11 13:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/tl02163/lenhatthangg/wish/279863755
