Because hester refuses to leave salem after her public trial, she clearly has issues. her choice to live out her punishment rather than escape it shows both strength of character and a deep belief in the idea of atonement. which replacement word would best clarify the meaning of "issues"?
The answer is C. Guilt. She has guilt for what shes done so that's why shes staying. She feels like she deserves her punishment. She wanted to make amends.
