1.) "his physical and moral self-flagellations amount at some level to more than a 'slight healing of the sin' " (Michael J. Colacurio, 325). This will be useful because in some parts of my paper i talk about the torment Dimmesdale goes through in the novel and how it fits in with the ways he repents.
2.) "Hester's sense of the scarlet letter as an 'ignominious brand' that is 'flaming' " (Frederick Newberry, 335). I found this piece important for my paper because in it I'm talking about how the scarlet letter affects her in her life.
3.) "wayward women faced the threat of being physically as well as socially stigmatized by a burning A" (Frederick Newberry, 337). My paper is almost all about how this letter makes her an outcast to the town and is ridiculed by them.
4.) "an internalized acceptance of its appropiatenes" (Michael J. Colacurcio, 310). Near the end of my paper this quote works for me because its talking about Hester's acceptance of the scarlet letter and that it's a part of her.
