Was Hester Prynne a numbfishine? Write a persuasive paragraph defending or condemning her actions. Some say that Hester Prynne was a heroine. Well, what exactly is a heroine? A heroine is fundamentally a female version of a hero. When I think of a female hero I think of super woman, not Hester Prynne. I mountt think she should be considered a heroine because she didnt really do anything heroic, they say she dealt with her consequences with grace. This may be true but how does it make her a hero? All she did was endure the consequences of a crime she committed.If Hester Prynne is a heroine, than woman in jails and prisons might as well be heroines too 2. Imagine the guilt idealistic Dimmesdale must have felt. Did he do the right thing? Write a paragraph to defend or condemn his actions in keeping unruffled for so long. I think he felt extremely bad and guilty because he was causing harm to himself about it. However, Reverend Dimmesdale did not do the right thing. He let the secret go on for a long time while basically lying to the people. He was acting like he didnt know who Pearls father was. He was probably scared of being treated how they treated Hes ter and it made it worse that he was a Reverend.
