would The removal of the scarlet letter be as pointless as forcing Hester wear it in the first place? Be sure to give textual support in your answer

Answer 1

Hi there

The removal of the scarlet letter be as pointless as forcing Hester to wear it in the first place because a majority of the villagers already knew she had committed an act of adultery. This is proven a few times throughout the story.

(I do not have the story in my possession, so I cannot write any textual support unfortunately. I have read the story in class before, though.)
