They Averred…but was red-hot with internal fire…in the night- time. (PG 79)
In this part I made the connection of the color of the Scaret letter to hell and scarlet light. Hester made her letter red because what she had done was a burning sin, much like those in hell. This is how badly Hester thinks of her sins, and how deep down they are hurting her.
