What causes Hester's infant to cry out while she's standing on the scaffold?.

Answer 1

Hester's infant to cry out while she's standing on the scaffold because the yelling of the angry crowd terrified Hector.

Hester is led to the scaffold of the pillory through an unsympathetic crowd. She recalls her past life in England and on the European continent while standing alone on the scaffold as punishment for her adultery.

In the first scaffold scene, Hester and Pearl stand alone, publicly humiliated, while Dimmesdale stands to the side with the other community leaders. He is emotionally and physically apart from her, but she bears her solitary suffering bravely.
