1) Hester Prynne refuses to tell anyone who she committed adultery with because she is trying to protect the person from what she goes through on a daily basis. She is faced with exclusion and depression because how the society thinks of this kind of behavior. I also think that she doesnt want her daughter to have to deal with double the ashame because her mom and her dad are both not accepted into society.
4) She doesnt want to run away from her problems she wants to face them. I think she is afraid that if she leaves her problem will come with her aswell so there ids no point in running.
