“’I will not speak!’ Answered Hester,
turning pale as death, but responding to this voice, which she too surely
recognized ‘And my child must seek a heavenly father; she shall never know an
earthly one!’”
Page 82 6th paragraph
This quote shows Hester’s strong ability of
not cracking under pressure. As she is being questioned and forced to speak of
who the father was, it clearly shows that Hester will simply not tell them.
This is a good life lesson because it shows you that if you committed a crime,
do not drag down the other’s with you, even if it means that you could get into
more trouble. It teaches you how to be a good, loyal friend. The quote uses a simile as well, “pale as
death”. I am just like Hester, as I have been in a few situations when I had to
tell about who was with me as I committed some wrong doings, I never cracked,
as I only took blame for myself.
