I’m a little confused about your question because Hester did not write “The Scarlet Letter” and the story is not told from a first person point of view. If you are referring to the letter “A” that Hester embroiders on her chest, it was a work of art. Instead of being plain and simple, she used her skills as a seamstress to embellish the letter with golden thread and fancy stitches. Obviously, this is not what the Puritans had in mind. Her design of the scarlet letter implied that she was proud of her sin and she was not intimidated by the Puritan authorities.
