 * One token of her shame would but poorly serve to hide another. Chapter II "The Market-Place"**

- Referring to Hester and spoken by the narrator. "One token of her shame" is referring to her baby Pearl, and "serve to hide **another**" is referring to the scarlet letter.


 * Ah, but let her cover the mark as she will, the pang of it will be always in her heart. Chapter II "The Market-Place"**

- Referring to Hester and spoken by a young wife. This means whether she covers up her scarlet letter or not she will always know what she did inside her heart.


 * In our nature, however, there is a provision, alike marvellous and merciful, that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present torture, but chiefly by the pang that rankles after it. Chapter II "The Market-Place"**

- Referring to Hester and was spoken by the narrator. Telling about Hesters pain.


 * A bodily disease, which we look upon as whole and entire within itself, may, after all, be but a symptom of some ailment in the spiritual part. Chapter X "The Leech and His Patient"**

- Spoken by Chillingsworth.


 * A pure hand needs no glove to cover it. Chapter XII "The Minister’s Vigil"**

- Referring to Dimmsdale and spoken by the Sexton. This means that if youve been honest you have nothing you need to hide or cover up. This is important because Hester admits to what shes done from the very beginning, but Dimmsdale doesnt until the very end.

<span style="COLOR: rgb(246,9,30)">Don't use you <span style="COLOR: rgb(237,64,64)">Who hated Hester? - This quote is referring to Hester. It was said by the narrator. This means that no matter what you do wrong, if you admit to it and take control of the situation and your actions you can be forgiven, but if your selfish about it and don’t tell the truth to keep yourself looking good, that’s not the right thing to do. This is important because Hester admitted to what she did wrong knowing that she would have to go through all the humiliation and Dimmsdale kept it a secret just to keep his good image.
 * It is to the credit of human nature, that, except where its selfishness is brought into play, it loves more readily than it hates. Hatred, by a gradual and quiet process, will even be transformed to love, unless the change be impeded by a continually new irritation of the original feeling of hostility. Chapter XIII "Another View of Hester"**


 * Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart! Else it may be their miserable fortune, when some mightier touch than their own may have awakened all her sensibilities, to be reproached even for the calm content, the marble image of happiness, which they will have imposed upon her as the warm reality. Chapter XV "Hester and Pearl"**

- This quote is referring to Hester and Chillingsworth. This is important because Chillingsworth lied to Hester to get her to marry him and when she did he was a completely different man. Then Hester found what she needed in Dimmsdale.

<span style="COLOR: rgb(244,26,26)">Do not use I think or I believe. -This was said by the narrator. This means that since the town ostracized her, that made her learn what she needed to do. Since she didn’t have anyone to teach her wrong from right, she learned from her mistakes. This is important because both Hester and Pearl are so strong because they only had each other to learn and lean on, that’s why they are whom they are.
 * She had wandered, without rule or guidance, into a moral wilderness. Her intellect and heart had their home, as it were, in desert places, where she roamed as freely as the wild Indian in his woods. The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers - stern and wild ones - and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss. Chapter XVIII "A Flood of Sunshine"**


 * But this had been a sin of passion, not of principle, nor even purpose. Chapter XVIII "A Flood of Sunshine"**

- This quote is referring to Hester and Dimmsdale. It was said by the narrator. I think this means that Hester and Dimmsdale didn’t plan what happened, but it just happened and it wasn’t intentional. This is important because Hester and Dimmsdale both know what they did was wrong, but they both also know they didn’t plan on it to happen. They both handled it very differently, Hester was open about it, even though she didn’t have a choice, and Dimmsdale chose to keep it a secret.


 * She had not known the weight until she felt the freedom. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter, Chapter XVIII "A Flood of Sunshine"**

- This is referring to Hester. It was said by the narrator. This means that Hester didn’t know how much of an effect the scarlet letter had on her until she finally freed herself from it.


 * No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true. Chapter XX "The Minister in a Maze"**

-

<span style="COLOR: rgb(222,23,23)">Give the source of the allusion. - This is referring to Hester. The allusion is “as being of great price." This fits the situation because Hester says Pearl is her greatest and only pleasure so when she says she purchased her with all she had it means she gave up her own pride, and accepted the humiliation she would endure from the town, and sacrificed herself for her daughter Pearl.
 * "But she named the infant 'Pearl,' as being of great price- purchased with all she had- her mother's only pleasure." Chapter 6 “Pearl” This quotation contains a Biblical allusion – Find that allusion and explain how it fits this situation****
