In this excerpt, it is possible to isolate most of the characteristics of what the German romantics condemn as “allegory.” Hester, as an allegory of sin, loses her “individuality,” and her only role becomes that of directly representing sin. The letter requires to be interpreted, but its comprehension is not intuitive, its meaning is to be taught by the religious authorities. As to the reception of the symbol by the reader/hearer, it also corresponds to the romantic theory of allegory, since the general ideas of “woman’s frailty and sinful passion” constitute the starting point of the preacher’s discourse upon Hester; her individuality only serves to illustrate this general idea.
i think the scarlet letter is so elaborate and the statements about it are so elaborate because we’re talking about adultery and sex. think of it as a metephor for gossip. whenever people hear about gossip, they think it’s “juicy” and enticing or interesting to look at and listen to.
also, she was of course trying to hide her ‘sins’ but she was carrying them on her chest. this is also a metephor for pepole who try to hide their deepest secrets but by looking them in the eye or just meeting them, it’s like they are screaming from the inside –there is no hiding such elaborate secrets.
good luck!

1. Hester was determined to be proud.
2. Hester Prynne
3. Adultery, though a sin, shouldn’t stop someone from being proud to be alive.
4. She did wrong, but why should she be punished inwardly/by the world for a mistake ANYONE could make? We’re all human.
