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

English
1 answer:
Vlada [557]3 years ago
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!

1.) Discuss the conflict Dana and Kevin face with their families on pages 108-112. What is paradoxical about
tangare [24]

When Dana returns to the past and gets closer to Weylin's house, she feels at home.

Explanation:

  • Kevin is a progressive man. In the 1970s, when casual racism was still common in the United States, he saw racial equality as mandatory and was shocked and surprised by the prejudiced beliefs of other people. He married a black woman over the objections.
  • Because he is a white man, he is not exposed to the kind of horrors that Dana, a black woman, must confront. And because he can be self-involved and insensitive, Kevin doesn’t make it his business to understand these horrors.
  • Kevin’s experiences in the South suggest that only the most extraordinary members of any ruling class can fully empathize with oppressed members of society.
