Make it 5 to 6 sentences please

Answer 1

Hester is a romantic character who is stuck in a puritan society. Unlike the women who accept only what the social norm is, Hester wants to have fun and was a free soul, however, since she was different than what was acceptable, she would suffer. She also doesn't just gossip around and talk bad things about people who are different, unlike the women in the book who do.
