Answer 1

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.
