quote: " 'At least they should have put the brand of a hot iron on Hester Prynne's forhead. Maddam Hester would have winced at that'. "
-This quote shows how cruel and punishing the mindset of a Puritan was in 17th century Boston.
quote: " 'But she -the naughty baggage- little will she care what they put upon the bodice of her gown!' "
-This quote demonstrates how lowly a Puritan thinks of someone who sins ("....the naughty baggage...")
quote: " 'This woman has brought shame upon us all, and ought to die. Is there not law for it? Truly there is , both in the Scripture and the statute-book.' "
