By chapter thirteen it has been
seven years since Hester was marked down with the Scarlett letter mentally and
physically on her chest. This also means that the sin of a daughter is also
seven years old. The Scarlett letter has mentally and physically changed Hester
for the good of her because Hester has grown from the horrible sin she committed
and soon faced the life long debt of being looked at in a different way from
the general public in her town. I think that the Scarlett letter has done its
office and Hester has learned and became a better person from her past
mistakes. Hester is a different woman from the one who committed a sin seven
years ago and she has gave back to help other people. Hester gives back to
other people by being a nurse to the sick people and she sows for others. She
also is a main place to go when someone is in trouble. Hester has grown in many
ways from the terrible sin she committed, which was having an affair with
another man, who is Dimmesdale. She was married to Chillingworth, but still has
not told the public and the people around her that Chillingworth is her
husband. This is a way to protect Chillingworth and Dimmesdale from the truth
and what could come of telling the truth. Overall, the Scarlett letter has done
its office for Hester and she has grown past the letter to become a stronger
woman.
