What is Hester's demeanor, or mein, as she emerges from her prison cell? please give detail (describe)

It depends on
which occasion you are referring to. In the beginning, she merges to public scrutiny  with a
quiet dignity and defiance. She retreats into memories of her past to deflect the humiliation
she must endure. The second time, she is much less composed. She is worn down, and appears to
suffer the consequences much more openly .
