So far, as you can tell from my word wall, there are a lot of words I don't know. But it isn't just the hard vocabulary and complicated sentence structure that makes this hard to read, I can't decipher what it's about. Where will Hester Prynne's journey take me? Will she ever see her "other man" again? Will her baby get named? There are already so many questions yet no plot has been established, I'd say that Nathaniel Hawthorne did a good job of confusing me in these chapters.
From all of Hawthorne's lengthy descriptions I have come to like Hester. She is very strong and brave for withstanding three hours on a podium for the whole town to see her beautifully sewn "A". I also wonder how she feels about her child. She must have some feelings for the father, as she is continuously hiding him from public scrutiny, but I wonder if she loves his baby as much as she loves him. And vice versa, does he "love that baby like he loves that lady?" (California Gurls by Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg)
