After Hester is released from jail and made to stand on the scaffold, she is an outcast in the town. She does not leave though, because unconsciously she believes that she must remain in the place of her sin until she is somehow purged of the sin. If she were to leave in anger or with a desire to bury her past, it could leave her unsettled for the rest of her life. Therefore she remains in Boston.

Hester Prynne returned to Boston to fulfill her promise to Reverend Dimmesdale to keep their relationship a secret, to confront her past and the consequences of her actions, and to find redemption and peace within herself.

∙ 14y agoShe remains in Boston because she feels since she committed the crime she should have to deal with the consequences as a reminder of what she has done. Hester wants to punish herself for her actions. Now that Chillingworth has come to Boston, Hester also remains to protect Dimmesdale from Roger's threat of revenge.

Why does Hester Prynne return to Boston?
No it was not because tiger woods was there. It was because Hester wanted to be with Dimmesdale. In the end she is buried with him and that is why she never took off the scarlet letter. When Dimmesdale confesses, he basically says that they will never be together again because he was going to hell, while she, Hester, was going to heaven. Hester does not want to believe it so what she does is that she never takes off the scarlet letter because she does not want to be redeemed, she wants to keep the letter on her breast so when she dies she will meet up with him in hell or wherever it is the Dimmesdale was going. By dying in the same situation that Dimmesdale did, she has hope that they will meet up together again be it hell or heaven. That is why she returns to Boston. She does it so she can be buried with him because she has hope that they'll be together again in the afterlife.
