Disgrace

of Hester Prynne’s identity and how she will “become the general symbol at which the preacher and moralist might point, and in which they might vivify and embody their images of woman’s frailty and sinful passion” (71). In order to illustrate the disgrace Hester feels, the language in this passage contains vivid word choice describing the contrast between the sinful and the pure. It seems as though the narration style in these lines is inside the mind of Hester, and how she might…

impossible to a man in the actual act of war.

to another. Creating riots is completely unnecessary because it also shows disrespect towards the team they were cheering for because that team has worked hard, and it’s making both teams look bad.
