Hester's Mental And Emotional Voices In Scarlet Letter
It had been many years since Hester first started to hear the voices. These voices would sometimes cause Hester to go insane. Her husband did not like that his wife, the one that was the most beautiful, made him look bad so he sent her to a mental hospital. There was a big building that was located near the town surrounded by a small forest. As she entered she started to hear the voices again, telling her that everyone betrayed her and to run before they could get her in any further. Once she was in she knew that she would probably never she her home again.

With Chillingsworths death, Hester does not feel at ease. She hears his voice everywhere; she did not start hearing it until after his lobotomy, which had gone wrong. She has seen him roam the halls outside her room and sometimes during her sessions with doctor Doomsdale. She knows that he is physically not present but that his spirit is still among them. It is as if he were more alive than before his death. He is appearing everywhere she goes and she can always hear his voice whispering in her ear. Ever since his death Hester has had more traumatic episodes and the nurses can not control her during the episode.
Many of the nurses have suggested that she get a lobotomy but Doctor Doomsdale does not agree. He too has started to see his appearances and is starting to notice and feel his presence. He knows that Hester is not crazy when she tells him that he sees and hears him but he knows that if he would ever confess this he might become a patient
