Not a stitch in that embroidered letter, but she has felt it in her heart (PG 51)
It took a lot of strength to be able to stitch that Scarlet “A” on her bosom. Not necessarily physical strength, although yes very painstaking and tedious, this is about inner strength. But I don’t feel like this was so hard for her because she had to deal with the pain of what she had done. I feel like this was so hard for her because of her pride, and he pride in the fact that she doesn’t really believe what she did was wrong. So not only was stitching a label for herself hard to deal with, but stitching a label she felt she didn’t deserve was probably the hardest part of all.
Why do you think she doesn't believe she deserves it?
