The Scarlet Letter .. Chapter Thirteen - Another View of Hester .. Post #36

In this chapter we see that Hester, or at least what she stands for, had changed. Seven years ago she was this symbol that stood for adultery, sins and everyone spotted at her. Now the meaning of the A changed. From Adultery to Able, how they say. Maybe it stands for something like Angel, how the A in the sky was interpreted one chapter before. It could be possible as she helps everyone and has such a guilty heart, that it could be easily interpreted with Angel. Have they forgotten about the sin she committed? If yes, why does she still wear the Letter on her chest? Is it because she became the letter? The letter became one of her characters, she is only known with it, so if she put it away, she will lose her individuality or even her soul?
