Why do the leaders of the town believe that Pearl could be a negative influence on Hester in the book The Scarlet Letter

1 answer:

7 0

Pearl is a very conflicting character. Her attitude and actions can be interpreted in many different ways as she has a remarkably multi-faceted personality. We see she's a very special and intelligent child, but often her behavior shows glimpses of a darker side as she seems to hurt Hester's emotions on purpose at times. It'd be easy to interpret Pearl <u>as the personification of Hester's sin and a negative force in her life, like many leaders of the town do</u>. But we have to remember she's just a child, and ultimately ends up helping her mother to move on.

Hope this helps!

Make a striking line poem with the phrase “no longer cares if you live or die”

LekaFEV [45]

I sit here and I cry,

Has my life always been a lie,

To always be so shy,

To never satisfy,

I've always been a guy,

But now that I reclassify,

They don't care to stand by,

They no longer care if you live or die.

I make this poem in honor of one of my closest friends who is going through some rough times.

I hope this helps!
