“And we must needs say, it seared Hester’s bosom so deeply, that perhaps there was more truth in the rumor than our modern incredulity may be inclined to admit.” (PG 79)
She creates beautiful things which is in contrast to the society. Hawthorne believes very strongly that the Puritan society is very calm and plane and well, ugly. But Hester and her sewing represent the light and life that flows through the community. And here it is saying that perhaps there is more to the story, more to the facts of why Hester committed adultery and who was involved.
