What is Hawthorne saying about making mistakes and making up for mistakes? About forgiveness?

MAJOR THEMES Perseverance/Endurance Isolation and society’s effects on the individual Why does Hawthorne choose to make Hester a positive character? What commentary is he making about the power of this woman? Is she meant to represent all women? What exactly has Hester faced that makes her endurance so impressive?
