In chapter five Hester goes out form the prison and goes at home with her baby. That’s a difficult change for her because until now she was always protected from the accusatorial looks form people by the walls of the prison, but now she has to start her normal life, wearing time by time, day by day, looked by everyone, with the scarlet letter flaming on her chest. It’s a very hard punishment for her. Because despite staying in prison, especially with a baby, wasn’t a good accommodation for her, the prisons’ walls acted like a barrier for her and her seen. Now that she is out, she has no more defense: she has to face the life alone with her sin.
Yes - and it is facing this LIFE that will change her and make her stronger, but at the beginning it is very difficult.
