The bond servants react with curiosity and wonder towards Hester and The Scarlet Letter. Some are sympathetic towards Hester's plight, while others judge her for her perceived sin. Overall, there is a mixture of compassion and judgment in their reactions.
Hester Prynne is tall and elegant with thick glossy hair. Both her hair and her eyes are dark; her face and complexion are perfect. She is described as being beautiful and impressive.
