Important Detail
When strangers looked curiously at the scarlet letter and none ever failed to do so they branded it afresh into Hester's soul;so that oftentimes,she could scarcely refrain, yet always did refrain, from covering the symbol with her hand.But then,again,an accustomed eye had likewise its own anguish to inflict.Its cool stare of familiarity was intolerable.From first to last ,in short ,Hester Prynne had always this dreadful agony in feeling a human eye upon the token;the spot never grew callous;it seemed,on the contrary,to grow more sensitive with daily torture.
Summary
-Hester Prynne accepted the punishment and refused to reveal her child's father. -Roger Chillingworth began his revenge to Arthur Dimmesdale as a physician. -Hester planed to leave America with Dimmesdale, but failed. -Dimmesdale died after he acknowledged his sin at public gathering. -Chillingworth died a year later and Pearl inherited all of his money. -Hester and Pearl left Boston. -Many years later, Hester returned alone.
Important Detail
Continually，and in a thousand other ways,did she feel the innumerable throbs of anguish that had been so cunningly contrived for her by the undying,the everactive sentence of the Puritan tribunal.Clergymen paused in the street to address words of exhortation that brought a crowd,with its mingled grin and frown, around the poor, sinful woman . If she entered a church,trusting to share the Sabbath smile of the Universal Father,it was often her mishap to find herself the text of the discourse. She grew to have a dread of child ; for they had imbibed from their parents a vague idea of something horrible in this dreary woman,gliding silently through the town,with never any companion but only one child.
