In this chapter the mystery of the baby's name is pushed aside as we find out
she is to be known as Pearl. Hester considers Pearl her
only consolation for her great sin. Pearl is described as an elfish
imp, an outcast, and sort of a loner like her mother. Pearl is a curious yet
defiant little girl and Hester worries about her all the time. This shows that
Hester has that compassionate motherly love that young children need to prosper
because Hester cares and worries for little Pearl all the time. Pearl always has
that curious air around her, she is always playing imaginary friends she makes
around their home. She also likes to mess with her mother scarlet letter which
torments Hester because she still feels pain as the letter is prodded by her
ever curious daughter.
