What words does Hawthorne use to describe Hester (physically), her behavior, her thoughts (about her past and present circumstance)? To what effect?

In terms of her physical stature, Hawthorne is careful to describe Hester as a very sober yet beautiful woman:

"The young woman was tall, with a figure of perfect elegance, on a large scale. She had dark and abundant hair, so glossy that it threw off the sunshine with a gleam, and a face which, besides being beautiful from regularity of feature and richness of complexion, had the impressiveness belonging to a marked brow and deep black eyes. She was lady-like, too, after the manner of the feminine gentility of those days."
