The quote: "Ha! What sayest thou!" cried he. "An enemy! And under mine own roof! What mean you?" This quote struck me. It struck me, because the Reverend just found out an enemy living under his own roof. If I were to find out that someone had been messing with my heart and made me miserable for seven years, then I would turn that person in for conspiracy. Either I would do that, or flee on a ship with my partner. (Pg. 201)
The quote: "Wilt thou yet forgive me!" she repeated, over and over again. "Wilt thou not frown? Wilt thou forgive?" This quote struck me, because Hester was begging for the Reverend's forgiveness. She couldn't speak up to him about Roger being her husband, so the Reverend spent 7 years of misery no knowing. She recently brought it up, and now she risks death, for Roger could tell society his identification. I couldn't imagine the Reverend being so forgiving towards Hester, after all those years of pain. (Pg. 203)
