INTEGRITY
There is no much integrity in this world these days. The main problem is bribery. This money paid to stay shut or to lie it is what perverts our integrity. Sometimes it is not money what we receive, but some favors.
"Never," replied Hester Prynne, looking, not at Mr. Wilson, but into the deep and troubled eyes of the younger clergyman. "It is too deeply branded. Ye cannot take it off. And would that I might endure his agony as well as mine!” This quote is what implies that Hester Prynne was a woman with high integrity. She will be never bribed because she is not a corrupt person. Hester is waiting for Mr. Dimmsdale to tell the truth and she will face society for him.
In all these acts when she refuses to say who her child’s father is, she is showing deep love for Mr. Dimmsdale. She must have really loved him to face all this guilt alone. Although, sometimes, it seems that she is accusing him for not speaking up. Although, she loved him, she feels anger and pity at the same time. Throughout the story she still refuses to tell who he is.
These are the acts of a person with integrity, a person who might be killed, but will not say what should not be said.
