Hester at her needle
Hester is released from prison and shunned to live in a small cottage. The meaning of this chapter is to show the mental test of strength that she is going to be put through. How does Hester cope with semi isolation and a young child? She decides to persevere and occupy her time by sewing. So she practically opens up shop armed with needles and thread. Only problem is that she's not selling them. The citizens like her but only for her handmade clothing. Everyone comes and buys her goods because of her high quality work. Although they do still feel the need to shun and ban her from making wedding dresses for trade since she has been poisoned with sin.
