Why did Hester stay in Boston knowing that she would be
isolated and that the people will have a negative thought of her forever?
Hester stayed in Boston because Pearl's father lived there and
she didn't want her husband to suspect her and she thought she should punish
herself for her adultery so she decided to just stay put and accepted it to
herself as a punishment.

notice her life is different from the other kids in Boston?
That she is being treated like an outcast and doesn't welcome her.
