In the context of chapter 13 the red-passion A on the Hester bosom, the symbol of her sin change in meaning. It isn’t more the A of Adultery but people start to see it as the A of Able, the new characteristic of the poor woman that put all herself in the help of the other. After Hester admitted her fault she could redeem herself, differently Dimmesdale can’t because his is an inner sin so he is having an inner punishment that is destroying him.
