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!

Answer:

B) Alfonso wants others to notice him, and Amy is worried about what Robert  will think.

Explanation:

In the first passage, it's clear that Alfonso is very focused on what other people will think of him, causing him to do many things just to improve his appearance and what others think of him.

In the second passage, Amy constantly asks herself worrying questions, afraid of what Robert might think of her family's Chinese traditions.

Both demonstrate the theme that people often care about what others think of them.
