Question

Which BEST expresses a subtle shift in how Hester Prynne is portrayed?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hester Pryne is the character from the novel "Scarlet Letter" written by  Nathanael Hawthorn.

Explanation:

At the beginning of the story, Hester is presented as a beautiful young lady. Her hair was healthy, she was considered tall with dark eyes and a beautiful face.

Later, after seven years of punishment for her sin. She is presented without such features. Her hair is hidden under her cap, she doesn't have that elegant look and the shine in her eyes. Her body is completely covered by her clothes and the only thing that stands out is the large letter ''A" on her bosom.

In the end, when she takes off the letter "A", it seems like all the burden is gone and she is beautiful once more.
