Question

Why is John Wilson not fit to judge Hester Prynne's crime?

Answer 1

He is not fit because he will not judge the crime rationally, but based on his own religious convictions, without observing the facts.

Although you haven't shown it, we can see that this question refers to the book "The Scarlet Letter."

We can reach this answer because:

• John Wilson has a strong religious bias.
• He represents pure Puritanism and in its most retrograde form.
• Therefore, he is not willing to evaluate the evidence of Hester Prynne's crime critically and rationally, but will judge it based on his own concepts and opinions.
• Therefore, he will not make a fair trial.

It is important to remember that "The Scarlet Letter" tells the story of a woman who conceived a child outside of marriage and who lives in a puritan society, where she is harassed and seen as a criminal.
