Questioning and Critical Thinking

1. Why do you think Hester Prynne does not want to tell anyone who she commited adultery with?
2. When  Roger Chillingworth visited Hester with meddicine for her and Pearl what characteristics did he show?
3. What are your thoughts of the law in the 1640s, giving death as a punishment for commiting adultery?
4. Why did Hester stay in Boston knowing that she would be isolated and that the people will have a negative thought of her forever?
5. What are the things that Pearl looks at that makes her notice her life is different from the other kids in Boston?
