Answer:
Hawthorne portrayed Hester as a passionate, courageous, and independent woman which is contradictory to the time when the text was written. She was a sinner who held her sin of adultery brave and becomes a victim when she gives up on the moral injustices of the puritan society.
The flaws in her character other than adultery would be her bold, rebellious, and fearful attitude acceptance of her crime, deciding to bring up Pearl herself, not removing the Scarlett letter even after her punishment, etc. These were a problem in the puritan community as they directly challenge and subvert the stereotypes and authority of the Puritan world.
These are antonyms!!
Resistant means that something can't affect it (the resistant object), or has a hard time affecting it. For example, water resistant shoes aren't easily affected by water; water cant pass through them as easily as non-water resistant shoes.
Yielding means that something is flexible or is influenced by another thing easily. For example, when you "yield" when driving, you are letting the other cars go before you; or, when an object "yields" to pressure, it is bending under pressure (though not quite breaking).
In summary: resistant means nothing can touch it, while yielding means that things easily affect it; thus, antonyms.
