#scarlet letter hibbens

[tr0ubl3d-tr4n53nd3r]

I choose to interpret the scarlet letter as a group full of autistic people coping with neurotypicals being literally anything but typical.

Hester I'm not too sure of but she's being shunned and typicals do that alot

Pearl is... Well... The stereotype of autism

Dmmesdale is masking so hard that he is shunning himself.

Chilling worth is a typical. He needs to grow up

And hibbens is hyperfixating on the devil and witchcraft and that's why she's so open about it. She doesn't know that it's so bad.

Hanging of Hibbins on Boston Common, June 19, 1656. Sketch by F.T. Merril, 1886

Ann Hibbins (also spelled Hibbons or Hibbens) was a woman executed for witchcraft in Boston, Massachusetts, on June 19, 1656. Her death by hanging was the third for witchcraft in Boston and predated the Salem witch trials of 1692. Hibbins was later fictionalized in Nathaniel Hawthorne's famous novel The Scarlet Letter. A wealthy widow, Hibbins was the sister-in-law by marriage to Massachusetts governor Richard Bellingham. Her sentence was handed down by Governor John Endicott.
