What are some contrasts between the way Daisy Buchanan and Hester Prynne are portrayed as women in their time periods?

Hester Prynne, of The Scarlet Letter, is ostracized by her community after bearing a child as a result of an extramarital affair. Her punishment, which includes her public exposure on the town scaffold and the requirement of wearing a Scarlet "A" on her chest to tell everyone she is an adulterer, are typical consequences in the early American colonial period in a Puritan society. She takes all of the blame upon herself, and her accomplice Reverend Dimmesdale is able to maintain his reputation, though he does secretly suffer from intense guilt. As a woman of her time period, Hester is definitely not typical, but she is punished for that.
Daisy Buchanan, on the other hand, is a woman who seems to be rewarded for her beauty and high social status. She has a wealthy husband and a child. In terms of money and resources, she wants for nothing. She is not ostracized like Hester was. However, Daisy is dissatisfied with the life set before her. For one, she still regrets not being able to marry Gatsby when they were younger and he was not yet wealthy. Secondly, she seems to recognize that women are second-class citizens in early-twentieth-century America. Of her aspirations for her daughter, Daisy says, "'I hope she'll be a fool . . . that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.'" This quote does not show that Daisy has very high expectations for a woman's place in society. It's great if she's beautiful because she can benefit from that, but it's also best that she be "a fool," possibly so she is unaware of the way she is limited due to her gender.
Both women are oppressed in their societies, though Hester's punishment is much more obvious and overt. Both of these characters show the ways women in their times and societies were considered lesser or were subject to double standards based on their gender.
