The Red A
“The townspeople who had known Hester Prynee before she was disgraced.” [31] That is how many people introduce me as. I am a brave women many people can confirm that for you. All the people in the town hate me. Mostly they never have nothing good to say about me. To get you caught up about four years ago my husband sent me to Boston. Boston is where I am currently living at still even after everything that has occurred. We were supposed to move here together. Instead he decided it would be a much better idea for me to get here first and just fix our home. Two whole years passed! He never came! He lied to me. Sadly I have needs just like any other women. This is where my life takes a huge turn.
A woman with no husband by her side for two years ends up pregnant. The whole town would know that I was with another man. This was obviously going to be a huge issue on my half. The whole town had me in their mouth. The Governor decided to put me in jail because I committed a huge sin. Many people had many things to say about my actions. Ion my eyes that is not fair. God should be the only one judging others mistakes. http://bible.cc/ecclesiastes/12-14.htm
The Governor decided my punishment would be to humiliate me in front of all the people in the town. To me did not seem too bad just because others were saying death was the perfect punishment. After all I did stitch the Governor some wonderful white gloves, which he never takes off! Another part of my punishment was to wear a red scarlet letter for the rest of my life. Thankfully I am a very talented at sewing. Then again that was my occupation. I enjoy stitching, it just eases my mind from things. Also keeps me very entertained.
The day I ahd to stand on the scaffold for almost three hours with my little angel Pearl crying. I believe she got a cold that same day. I was standing staring at the huge crowd who was just staring back at me. I noticed someone who I believed I would never see again. I recognized the man. “He was a small hump-backed man with a thin, pale face.” It was my husband! I felt terrified. Later that day I was at my cell with Pearl. She was still crying I requested a doctor for her. My husband comes in! He acted as if he was a doctor to see me and ask me who the father was. I will never say that information. I shall keep all that to myself. Never will I put him in danger. http://misslperiod1.wikispaces.com/Hester+Prynne+at+the+beginning+of+SL-1
