The One Who Suffered the Worst In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s book The Scarlet Letter, Hester’s character suffers far worst than the other two major characters because her sin became part of who she was and how everyone saw her as. Though I believe that Hester suffered the most, other people believe that Hester didn’t suffer as much because of the way she handles her problems; such as, keeping both Dimmesdale and Chillingworth’s secrets , refusing to let them take Pearl from her, and not hiding from the public after her sin is revealed and she is punished. Nonetheless, while Hester does tolerance her suffering better than the other characters, this also shows that she suffered the worst too. In fact, Hawthorne gives frequently evidence of this throughout The Scarlet Letter. Some of the evidence he gives is the constant reminders that she will live with her sin the rest of her life, her relationships with Chillingworth and Dimmesdale, and how she deals with her sin and the result of it.
