One of the moments that was really
prominent and memorable for me in this novel is when Hester Prynne is released from jail,
after being imprisoned for committing adultery. In this moment the sun
illuminates and embraces her as if to display the letter A on her bosom vividly
to all. She was feeling nervous and anxious due to the fact that she was
finally going to be released into society to be amongst others but was afraid
of the unknown. She knew that the A on her bosom would make her the attention
pursuer of all, she would be the example known and used by all of what not to
become, as well as a target for ridicule and mockery in society.
Each day in its own would present a challenge for her to confront. Hester even thought of leaving her old life behind and taking on a new persona. In hope that she could start anew and turn a fresh page. Hester had not a friend in this world or anyone to turn to because she was an outcast. She had a child now and didn’t have a home for them both. She decided to inhabit a small cottage near the peninsula that was deserted. Hester prynne had no job but was skillful with the needle that she used to make apparel.
This was my most memorable moment of the book because i asked myself how can someone try to come back into society after being discriminated against, ejected out, and being the center of negative remarks as well a go through life.
