Nathaniel Hawthorne's <em>The Scarlet Letter </em>tells the story of a woman who was accused of adultery and punished for the sin in a Puritan society. The woman, Hester Prynne had to wear a scarlet letter A to indicate or 'show' everyone about the sin she had committed, and be 'showcased' in public for 3 hours every day.
The given excerpt from Chapter 3 gave details about the marketplace where Hester Prynne and her daughter were revealed and 'displayed' for everyone to see. The womenfolk took the chance to berate and gossip about her. And among the general public who had come to see Prynne was a man who Prynne seemed to recognize. But <u>he held his hands to his lips so that she will not reveal him or his secret. This gesture seems to suggest that the man wanted to keep his true identity a secret.
