    Analysis:
    Why should Hester deserve such harsh punishments just because of committing adultery? Why were the women showing such strong hatred towards her

    Evaluation:
    Based on what we have read so far, do you think the people in today's society will be in fear of the consequences Hester had to face?

    Prediction:
    How might Hester deal with all the pressure she is getting from the public about committing adultery?
