Though scorned by her fellow citizens, Hester continues to lead a relatively uneventful life.

Through pain, remorse and agony the novel reveals that it is better to tell a harmless lie then to confess a hurtful truth. Hester Prynne married at a very young age. Her husband was older than her and she never felt a sexual or physical attraction to him. Her husband set out for England without Hester and when he came back, he discovered that she had an affair with an unknown man which conceived a child.

The two heroines being contrasted are Emily Grierson and Alice Kingsleigh. Emily Grierson truly wanted to get married and meet men, but while her father was alive, she was not permitted to socialize and meet men. “We remembered all the young men her father had driven away…” (Faulkner 4) Due to her father’s overprotectiveness, she did not know how to flirt with men, so when a fellow by the name of Homer came by, she fell in love with him knowing that he was not the marrying type. Instead of using her charms to win him over, she lost all confidence once her

When the oracle said that her son would kill his father and sleep with his mother she quickly abandoned her son to avoid that horrible fate and thanked the oracle for that. However, when Oedipus heard that Polybus was dead and realized he didn’t kill his father Jocasta said the oracle was useless. Jocasta is the type of person that chooses to be blind and accept the lies but only when they help her. If the truths help her then she will accept the truths. Jocasta is also trying to blind Oedipus in this quote.
