what a pathetic mistake to make. i'll leave it there to make it a public spectacle. sort of like hester prynne standing on the gallows to let the town look at her. except with less symbolism
"Hester looked by way of humouring the child; and she saw that, owing to the peculiar effect of this convex mirror, the scarlet letter was represented in exaggerated and gigantic proportions, so as to be greatly the most prominent feature of her appearance. In truth, she seemed absolutely hidden behind it."
i'm not sure but i feel like hawthorne might be saying that hester is - how should i put this - overwhelmed, perhaps, by the scarlet letter
