"Yes, I hate him!" repeated Hester more bitterly than before. "He betrayed me! He has done me worse wrong than I did him!"
This is a reflection of emotions dominating reason. After the talk with Roger Chillingworth, Hester mentions how she hate Roger. Her emotion dominates the logic when she gets mad at Chillingworth taking revenge on Dimmesdale by saying Roger done worse than she did to him even though she is the one who committed adultery.
"Yes, don't really like him." repeated Hester with a moderate and calm emotion. "He was not loyal to me, I believe that I am better that him since he left me without any message."
ReplyDeleteIn this re-writed quote, Hester emotion wasn't over her logic. She explained the reasons and did not show her physical or outer behavior.
