The event: "Throughout them all, giving up her individuality, she would become the general symbol at which the preacher and moralist might point, and in which they might vivify and embody their images of woman's frailty and sinful passion." This event struck me, because you get an image of Hester going to church and being pointed at. They based their gospels and morals of stories upon her wrong-doings. She was the symbol of evil. She would forever be the moral of the story. I think Hester is courageous for going through life day by day with people looking down upon her. (Pg. 82)
The event: "In this manner, Hester Prynne came to have a part to perform in the world." This event struck me, because Hester became the ideal evil symbol in town. She was the lowest of low people. She accepted death, just she couldn't kill herself for it was against her religion. She was in a rut, forever. (Pg. 87)
