.... example, 'Woman, transgress not not beyond limits of heaven's mercy! hat little babe hath been gifted with a voice, to second and confirm the councel which thou hast heard. Speak out the name" cries Mr. Wilson" 'Never!' replies Hester. "It is too deeply branded. Ye cannot take it off. And would that I might endure his agony as wellas mine!"

.... as "wander", "rayless", and "pathless" are used to describe the stars and create a sense of despair and hopelessness. The word "extinguished" is used multiple times in describing both the sun and later for the loss of fire. Men first give "selfish prayer" and later cast their eyes downward with "curses".

.... that she has to hide and lie low; that she would have to creep in order to be accepted in society and she does not want to see all the other women who have to do the same because she realizes they are a reflection of herself.

That is his second punishment being denied the wish of spending the rest of their lives together. Chillingworth committed the worst sin out of all of them. He wanted to get back at Dimmesdale so he was trying to commit revenge. In fact his punishment for this was watchi .....

.... described as devious beings that need to be dealt with carefully in relationships such as marriage. Pozdnyshev believes women to be naturally weaker, and therefore lack the rights afforded to men. Despite this incongruity, women can easily level the playing field by utilizing what Pozdnyshev calls their "sensuality". Once this option is exercised, the inequalities are not only erased, but reversed, and the woman gains full control. Pozdnyshev is discomforted by this notion and states, "I used formerly to feel uncomfortable and uneasy when I saw a lady dressed up for a .....
