How does hester's "new sense" suggest hypocrisy on the part of the townspeople, in chapter 5 of the scarlet letter?

She is starting to become more and more like the other women in the town from the beginning of the novel she is now being judgmental in a way. I hope this is right I don't remember much but good luck!

Some cultural backgrounds have different superstitions or customs, this can play a part in how they decide things. superstitions are important to a culture for example, an asian culture has a superstition about women putting their purses on the ground their money will be gone, therefore people in that culture try everything they can to not let their purse touch the ground in fear of it being true. also like how we avoid walking under ladders in fear of bad luck. customs may also play a key role a custom also know as a tradition, is something people in the culture have been doing for generations as a quick example, if a family has a necklace that the family's mother passes it on to her daughter in so on it's a custom in that family.
