Answer 2

The scarlet token, or the letter A, initially causes Hester to suffer shame and alienation from society, leading to a transformation in her appearance towards a more subdued and somber style. However, over time, Hester develops a sense of inner strength and resilience, which is reflected in her more stoic temperament despite the continued judgment and ostracism from the community.
