I'm pretty sure most of them had a clue what Hester was accused of , as no decent young woman should have been in some unrelated man's house anyway .
When Hester is first forced to wear the "A", it was a punishment so that all would know of her sin. The townspeople saw it as a mark of her adultery. As the years go by, Hester cares for the sick and the poor and the townspeople begin to see it as a symbol of her generosity. They begin to think of it as standing for "Able" rather than "Adulterer".
Arthur Dimmesdale is one of many reverends in the town in which Hester lives. He is highly respected and greatly loved by his congregation and as a result, the townspeople idealize him and mistakenly think he is perfect. In fact, he committed the sin of fornication and fathered Pearl with Hester.
The sexton in "The Scarlet Letter" believes that the devil placed the scarlet letter on the scaffold where Hester Prynne and Dimmesdale stand. He thinks this because the letter mysteriously appears without anyone seeing who put it there.
that he can do no wrong....descendent of God
The falling action in "The Scarlet Letter" includes Hester and Dimmesdale's final encounter on the scaffold, Dimmesdale revealing his sin before the townspeople, and Hester's decision to move away with Pearl. These moments bring resolution to the main conflicts and characters in the story.
She didn't want to ruin him.
