Bravest Characters In Scarlet Letter

The book “Scarlet Letter” written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is about a women who came to the new world and committed adultery. She then after had a “demon child’. For this demon child she also endures a lot of punishments. She goes through a lot of hardship because of the sin she has committed. Throughout them all she stays brave, loving, and caring.

Hester Prynne throughout this story is one of the bravest characters. She goes through a lot of hardships and endures them. Some of the hardships she goes through would be wearing the “scarlet letter”, public humiliation, and having her daughter around with her. Lets look at a quote from “The Scarlet Letter” “let her cover the mark as she will, the pang of it will be always be in her heart.” This quote shows that Hester is so busy judging herself that she hardly cares what happens to her in public. This women just stands there in public brave as can be, not caring. From the Scarlet Letter and the Book of Esther: Scriptural Letter and Narrative Life, “Hester on the other hand, Is made to stand “fully revealed before the crowd””. In this reading the author

Matthew Gartner, was trying to say that they had “Hester Prynne” fully exposed in front of everyone. Showing that she stood there and took the punishment bravely. “ Hester is made to wear the letter that declares her guilt and her exemplary banishment—her sin is to be published and represented in the form of a text which will continually speak of her disobedience.” She wears this letter knowing that she will be judged by everyone and anyone who will look at her. Even though people judged her she still bravely did or followed the life of a normal women as If nothing happened. Bravely did everything to help her raise ‘Perl” and live a normal lifestyle.
Hester Prynne was still very loving even after all these events going on in her life. She was loving because she loved her daughter “Perl”. She loved her daughter even though she was considered a “demon child”. She loved her so much that “"But she named the infant "Pearl," as being of great price--purchased with all she had--her mother's only treasure!" from The Scarlet Letter. She named her daughter her greatest prize even if everyone looked down at her. “Hester names Perl with reference to the gospel of Matthew…” From the Scarlet Letter and the Book of Esther: Scriptural Letter and Narrative Life. Matthew Gartner tells us where Hester get the name for Perl. Hester loves her daughter Perl even though the people “…question whether Perl is a demon-child…”. Hester got punished and got looked down on for doing or committing these acts of adultery. Then Hester had a child and it caused her more problems and she still loved Perl as if she were the best thing that had ever happened to Hester and loved Perl with all her heart.
For committing these crimes Hester is punished and has to wear a ”Scarlet Letter”.

This letter is an “A”. Everyone in the town knows what it is for and she still stays courageous and fights for Perl, and goes through all these different hardships. “God gave her into my my keeping I will not give her up” from Scarlet Letter. This is a quote from the book Scarlet letter giving an example of Hester being courageous and fighing to keep Perl. She fought so much that she got governor Bellingham to change his mind and say “Said to be one of the busiest of those conspiring to take Perl from Hester.” From Scarlet Letter. This shows how hard she fought to get even the governor to change his mind. Hester is a “great lady of the land” from From the Scarlet Letter and the Book of Esther: Scriptural Letter and Narrative Life. Another quote admiring her

courage.
Although Hester fell into these hardships where she committed adultery and has to wear the Scarlet Letter “A”, she also raises a child. A child who was going to be taken from her and she fights for her. All in all she stayed brave, loving, and courageous.
