Explanation:

Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter tells the story of an adulterous woman named Hester Prynne and the punishment inflicted on her and her 'fatherless' baby. The whole plot of the story deals with punishment and the sin that led to her 'humiliating' treatment and the sin that led to all these.

Chapter 2 shows the market scene where lots of people have gathered, including the womenfolk, to see the release of the adulterer Hester Prynne and her infant daughter Pearl. The women think that it is wrong to release such type of woman, for then she will bring a bad name to all and also might even relay the message that adultery is not a sin in the Puritanical society. She also endures the scornful look of those gathered, while also showing to the world the "the letter A [which] was so artistically done".
