“Woman, transgress not beyond the limits of Heaven’s mercy!” cried the Reverend Mr. Wilson, more harshly than before. “That little babe hath been gifted with a voice, to second and confirm the counsel which thou hast heard. Speak out the name! That, and thy repentance, may avail to take the scarlet letter off thy breast.”
Through this quote you can tell how from the past, the society as a whole treated women pretty harsh with traditional rules. Yet, the society seems to still believe in the whole concept of "second chance". However, this will relate to life in general because people nowadays also follow a set of popular rules set by the society. People blindly follow the rules because of its popularity, they never really pause and reconsider the consequences or the reason why they are doing it.
