Hawthorne portrayed Hester as a passionate, courageous, and independent woman which is contradictory to the time when the text was written. She was a sinner who held her sin of adultery brave and becomes a victim when she gives up on the moral injustices of the puritan society.

The flaws in her character other than adultery would be her bold, rebellious, and fearful attitude acceptance of her crime, deciding to bring up Pearl herself, not removing the Scarlett letter even after her punishment, etc. These were a problem in the puritan community as they directly challenge and subvert the stereotypes and authority of the Puritan world.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
