Further Explanation:

The Puritans during the 16th and 17th century were the people who believed in the strict interpretation of the sayings in the Bible. The sin at that time was considered to be publicly dealt with. Committing any sin during the Puritan era was not a personal thing, it was assumed to be linked with the entire community. The sin committed by Hester was considered to be not acceptable in the eyes of the puritan people. At the same time, Hester boldly stood in front of the entire community after releasing from the prison. She was publicly condemned but she remained calm holding her child in her arms. She faced the people and her husband. Her husband, Roger Chillingworth asked her to keep their relationship secret from the eyes of the people. To this proposal, she accepted and was also ready to bear the reaction of the people. She boldly lived her life holding the scarlet letter 'A' on her chest. Puritans considered the act of adultery to be one of the most heinous sins which were equivalent to committing a crime. Hester, on the other hand, did not reveal either her husband's identity or her lover's identity and lived her life with the 'scarlet letter A'.
