Instead of using the pillory, which would lock a person's head and hands together where they could not move and be forced to not be able to show their humiliation. “No outrage more flagrant to forbid the culprit to hide his face from shame,” is in Hawthorne's commentary on page 53.

"Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that .....

.... all that was left to her; and in a way, people were glad being left alone. She had become humanized" (219). This sounds as if her father’s death was sort of liberation for Emily. In a way it was, she could begin to date and court men of her choice and liking. Her father couldn’t chase them off any more. But then again, did she have the know-how to do this, after all those years of her father’s past actions? It also sounds as if the townspeople thought Emily was above the law because of her high-class stature. Now since the passing of her father she may be like them, a middle class work .....

But like a child, 's monster returned expecting to be accepted: " And his eyes, if eyes they may be called, were fixed on me. His jaws opened, and he muttered some inartic .....
