the scarlet letter, symbol 30

Chapter 13


"The world’s law was no law for her mind." This tells us that Hester had her own way to think of. She didn't agree with the Worlds laws, as for her part would be the Puritan laws. It's like the laws wasn't made for her, and this society she lives in wasn't made for her. She was made to be different. The Puritan society didn't allow this, and that's why she is an outsider.
