“Little accustomed, in her long seclusion from society, to measure her ideas of right and wrong by any standard external to herself, Hester saw, or seemed to see, that there lay a responsibility upon her in reference to the clergyman, which she owned to no other, nor to the whole world besides.”
Hester is living a life completely isolated from all the society. She is like alone in her own world. That’s why she has her own rules. People labeled her like a wrong person and she will have this tag for all her life. No one care a lot about her behavior because she will be a sinner forever so Hester has to judge alone what is right and what is wrong.
