Chillingworth tells Hester the townspeople are discussing allowing Hester to take off her scarlet letter. She says:

• No, I must continue to be an example against sin.

• No, if I didn't deserve this letter, it would fall off on its own.

• Yes, I will finally remove the letter and be forgiven of my sin.

• Yes, because the letter has faded both in appearance and in meaning after all these years.
