American Literature
Hester Prynne commits the biggest sin of the book, for which she is caught. We can only speculate
what would have happened if she didn't confess and wasn't caught. However there were sins she committed that she didn't confess. First, she didn't
tell who her accomplice was in committing adultery. For not confessing this she is rewarded and punished. She is rewarded by keeping Dimmesdale
as a freind and a confidant. She is punished however by having to watch her husband, posing as Roger Chillingworth slowly kill Dimmesdale. Her
decision to not tell who the father of Pearl was may or may not have been the best move. Perhaps if they knew who the father was they would have
killed Hester and Pearl. Dimmesdale would have surely been put to death. In the end, it may have been the right choice, or maybe not, that could
easily be debated. She also commited a crime when she aided in hiding who Roger Chillingworth was. Once again this desicion led to both good
things and bad
