Question

What do we talk of marks and brands, whether on the bodice of her gown, or the flesh of her forehead?" cried another female, the ugliest as well as the most pitiless of these self-constituted judges. "This woman has brought shame upon us all, and ought to die. Is there not law for it? Truly there is, both in the Scripture and the statute-book. Then let the magistrates, who have made it of no effect, thank themselves if their own wives and daughters go astray!" –The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne Which type of character is the speaker of the dialogue in the excerpt?

Answer 1

1. minor

2. flat

3. to establish the societal conflict

Answer 2

This is a minor character.

Step-by-step explanation:

Majestic characters are those who are the protagonists of history, those who have greater relevance and who are the center of the narrative and the events that happen.

Minor characters are those secondary characters, without much relevance, but that provide support for a particular scene within the story.

Regarding the character shown in the question above, we can see that she is supporting a scene, but that she is not so relevant to the whole story, since not even the character's name is mentioned.
