Moreover, there are a great number of similarities between the outlooks of the three characters upon the world in that they all learn or conclude their outlook from the circumstances that they are faced with, they all change their ways and somewhat rebel against their societies culture as a result of the new outlook, and furthermore they don’t try and change their society and make an impact.   Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Ã‚  Hester Prynne is a character that approached her new outlook as something she had to do for herself.
