Answer 2

After reading this passage again, I found two similes . One " At his arrival in the market place, and some time before she saw him, the stranger had bent his eyes on Hester Prynne. it was carelessly, at first, like a man chiefly accustomed to look inward, and to whom external matters are of little value and import unless they bear relation to something within his mind. (Hawthorne 67)."
