'In Defense Of Hester's Punishment To Keep Pearl'
Hester was sentenced for committing adultery back in the late 1640’s and forever punished to wear the scarlet letter on her chest. As a result of her sin, she gained a daughter; Her name is Pearl. Hester has committed adultery and sinned, but they should not remove Pearl from her mother. Furthermore, Hester should keep Pearl because, Hester’s punishment has already been served, she is a constant reminder of her sin, and after all, Pearl is all Hester has.
No one has the right to a child away from their mother. Although Hester’s punishment was very harsh, Pearl has also suffered in that. Pearl even went to jail with her mother even though she was innocent child ; Pearl was only an infant, who had done nothing wrong (Hawthorne,57). Now Governor

    How Does Nathaniel Hawthorne Use Clothing In The Scarlet Letter

    “The child’s attire, on the other hand, was distinguished by a fanciful, or, may we rather say, a fantastic ingenuity, which served, indeed to heighten the airy charm that early began to develop itself in the little girl...” (p. 56). Hawthorne’s formal diction makes for word choice that places Pearl as a more eloquent and deserving person than her mother. Pearl’s description makes it clear to see Hester felt that Pearl was her blessing since her birth. Ironically, although she later begins to torment Hester, always stubborn, whimsical, and hard to control, as punishment for her adultery Hawthorne’s tone of the passage is elegant as he describes Pearl hinting at her potential to become a wonderful…

    Scarlet Letter Pearl Isolation

    Pearl’s isolation and her reliance upon her mother has led to her not being able to form relationships between other people. In the story, Pearl is conceived by the unfortunate crime of adultery. She is isolated from everyone but her mother, Hester. Hester is the only person Pearl interacts with in a loving way throughout the story. Pearl is very protective of Hester; when the children were making fun of Hester Pear, “. . . snatching up stones and fling at them, (Hawthorne 64).” This shows how she stands up for her mother and only her mother. Because of Hester committing adultery, Pearl is seen as a product of sin and not a single towns person will like Pearl because of their compliance to their faith. Pearl is described by the townspeople…

    Figurative Language In The Scarlet Letter

    6) In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne employs figurative language to explain the symbolic character of Pearl before she becomes a woman. To Hester, her child who is often associated with sin is, “Her Pearl! ...she named the infant “Pearl”, as being of great price, --purchased with all she had, her mother’s only treasure!”(6,1). This allusion of the Gospel of Matthew, the merchant man seeking goodly pearls gave up everything to get that one pearl, similarly connects to how Hester gave up everything such as her home, friends, and dignity just to obtain her daughter, Pearl. Hester sustains the pain of abandonment and wrath from the Puritans just to keep Pearl; Pearl gives Hester a reason to strengthen herself and survive in this community…

    Scarlet Letter: Hester's Punishment

    There is a lot of commotion around the town discussing whether or not Hester’s punishment was enough to be considered just. Some of the people wanted a harsher punishment and not some weak punishment like being in jail for a couple of days. But the punishment the magistrates gave was a good one and they didn’t need to go to the extreme. Hester did break a major crime committed adultery and she will pay for it later on, she is going to be outcast of the town, and she will keep pearl so she will always remember what she has done.…

    How Does Hester Prynne Use Cruelty In The Scarlet Letter

    The torture and cruelty relates from “The mother herself - as if the red ignominy were so deeply scorched into her brain, that all her conceptions assumed its form - had carefully wrought out the similitude; [...creating] an analogy between the object of her affection, and the emblem of her guilt and torture” (94). The analogy created between the “object of her affection”, being her daughter, and “the emblem of her guilt and torture”, symbolizes the scarlet letter A stitched onto her wardrobe. Hester feels this way because she feels passion and love for her beautiful daughter, but is once again distraught by the scarlet letter defining not only her life but her daughter’s life forever. The fact that women during the time period of the seventeenth century are, considerably, immobilized by their lack of freedoms, regulates the attention to this disgraceful sin that Hester committed. She recognizes the relationship with the scarlet letter and how it was ultimately the best and worst thing that could have happened in her life. She wants all of the shame, guilt, and harmful comments to disappear, yet she is in love with Pearl. Cruelty is indirectly displayed in her situation because once the people saw her pregnancy appear, they treated her like an outcast because there was an unknown father, hence the…

    Scarlet Letter

    In chapter 8, Dimmesdale, Mr. Wilson, and Governor Bellingham are visited by Hester and Pearl at the Governor’s mansion. When pearl is asked “who made thee?”, she responds that she was not made, but rather "plucked . . . off the bush of wild roses that grew by the prison door.". This causes the governor and Mr. Wilson to immediately become horrified and ready to take Pearl from Hester’s custody. As Pearl protests her God given right for Pearls custody, she pleads that Dimmesdale speak for her. Dimmesdale uses religious appeal to convince the governor and Mr. Wilson that God gave Pearl to Hester and it is not their right to take the child away. He says that God gave Pearl to Hester as both “a blessing and a reminder of her sin”, which is the leading argument that convinces Bellingham and Mr. Wilson to leave Pearl in Hester’s custody. Dimmesdale uses a religious allusion in chapter 8 to convince them that they should leave Pearl to Hester’s custody and he is indeed successful in doing so. By Dimmesdale sticking up for Hester so easily and powerfully, it reveals that he has deep feelings for her and he is in some way responsible for he sin.…

    Scarlet Letter Alienation Quotes

    Her alienation has different circumstances, however, because she was born an alien, she did nothing wrong. Since she is the product of sin, many consider her a "demon child" with supernatural powers. For this reason, she herself is a symbol of her alienation; "It [Pearl] was the scarlet letter in another form; the scarlet letter endowed with life!" (70). She is compared to Hester's symbol of alienation, but she is a breathing, living form of the same symbol. She alienated herself and her mother from society. She is not your normal child, she acts very different; "She [Hester] could recognize her [Pearl] wild, desperate, defiant, mood, the flightiness of her temper, and even some of the very cloud-shapes of gloom and despondency that had brooded in her heart," (63). In this description of Pearl's behavior, we see a child that does not fit in your normal Puritan mold; she is a child filled of energy, character, and mischief. She finds a way to live a happy life regardless of being an outcast from society. Because of Pearl's behavior and her mother's sin, lots of drama occurs around the possession of the child; "Women it is thy bandage of shame! ...It is because of the stain which that letter indicates, that we would transfer thy child to other hands," (76). Here, Governor Bellingham is trying to take Pearl from her mother to give her a "normal" life in attempt to raise the child into your average, molded Puritan. Pearl…

    Pearl In Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter

    Pearl is a great contrast to the strictness of puritan society; she is a very wild and disobedient child and this comes from being raised in the forest. She is raised in the forest instead of in town, and her distance from society is greatened because of the absence of people around her during childhood. This leads her to not know how to behave as an honorable member of the puritan society. The few times Hester took her into town it is very obvious that she is uncomfortable and unaware of how to behave. "But Pearl, who was a…

    Convicting Hester Prynne

    Supporters of Hester will argue that she sentencing her to death is wrong, because she is a mother, and taking a mother away from their child will hurt the child in the long run. Yes there is no doubt a life without a mother will affect the child, but would it not be worse or the same if Hester did not die? The stigma against Hester will hurt Pearl more than a life without her. In an interview with NBC Melissa Moore, daughter of the “Happy…

    The Scarlet Letter - Character Analysis - Pearl

    The setting is the early 1600's in a newly founded Puritan colony. Hester moves to America before her husband Chillingworth, and commits adultery with the minister of the colony, Mr. Dimmesdale. Hester is punished by an embroidered red "A" on the breast of her dress. She is led to the scaffold for embarrassment before the people. When Hester is led to the scaffold, she held Pearl, her daughter and result of her sin, really close because she loves her; Pearl is the only person that she has at this point. The reason that she named her Pearl is because she was "of a great price." Pearl hides behind her mother because she is scared and doesn't know what to think about the situation. She and her mom lived alone in the small colony. She touches the scarlet letter, but little does she know that she is the reason for the punishment. They are social outcasts, so they don't leave their house much. Pearl plays alone and has best friends that are imaginary. She distrusts her own imaginary friends for the same reason that she distrusts all the Puritans in the colony. People treat Hester and Pearl differently than everyone else is treated. She…

    Witchcraft In The Scarlet Letter

    Hester Prynne was guilty of adultery. In the Puritan colony of Boston, adultery was punishable by a brief prison sentence, time standing on a scaffold in front of all the townspeople, and finally the requirement of bearing a scarlet colored A on your clothing. This letter would act as a constant reminder of the offense committed against God. Hester was generally a good person who believed in and feared God, " Thy Heavenly Father sent thee!" (Hawthorne, 99) "She was self-ordained a Sister of Mercy"¦" (156). However, she gave into temptation, and in this devout culture, an act such as this was viewed as a pact with the devil. There is evidence that Hester freely would have turned to the devil if it weren't for Pearl, "Had they taken her from me, I would willingly have gone with thee into the forest, and signed my name in the Black Man's book too, and that with mine own blood" (116). This shows how Pearl helped save her from the devil, even at a young age.…
