The quote: "And my child must seek a heavenly Father; she shall never know an earthly one!" This quote struck me. It struck me because Hester Prynne will not tell the public the name of her accomplice in the adulterous crime. She is willing for daughter to face a life of never knowing who her father is, in order to save that very man's reputation. If I was her daughter, I would try to find out who my father was. I think it's brave of Hester to keep that secret. (Pg. 71)
The quote: "Nay, from the moment when we came down the old church steps together, a married pair, I might have beheld the bale-fire of that scarlet letter blazing at the end of our path!" This quote struck me, because it explains how Roger Chillingworth and Hester Prynne were a married couple. Roger exclaims, that if he had known about an adultery in the future on their wedding day, he wouldn't have married her. I think it's good of him to not identify himself to the public. Supposedly, Hester's husband died in a shipwreck, and was at the bottom of the ocean. If Roger identified himself, Hester would be killed for adultery. (Pg. 77)
