Hester describes the scarlet letter as too deeply branded in order to suggest that:

C. her shame is permanent, regardless of her punishment.

  • This question is about the novel "The Scarlet Letter," by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

  • The story is set in Puritan Boston, in the 1600's.

  • Hester is the main character. She is publicly humiliated for giving birth to a daughter after having an affair.

  • Hester is forced to wear a scarlet (red) letter A embroidered in her clothes.

  • The A stands for "adultery", which is the sin she is being accused of.

  • The shame she and her daughter are subjected to is so deep and hurtful that Hester cannot seem to ever be able to get rid of it.

  • Even if she does not wear the letter, her sin and, even worse, her shame and the humiliation she went through will always be with her.

  • In conclusion, having the information above in mind, we can say that Hester means that her shame is permanent when she says the letter is too deeply branded.

To say that something is "good" or "strong" is not _____.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

b. objective

Explanation:

To say that someone is 'good' or 'strong' is not objective because it is based on your own values, perceptions and judgement.  So, someone else might have a very different perception of those adjectives based on his own experience and values.

It's not objective, it's subjective, because it depends of the subject (individual) saying those words, on what they define is good, on what they believe is strong and so on.

Objective means it's something that everyone agrees on, that has a general consensus among the population.  For example, saying someone is beautiful/handsome implies your own criteria of beauty, which may or may not be shared by others.  But if you say someone is tall, then it can be measured and quantified to determine if it's really the case or not, it's not dependent on someone's opinion or feelings.
