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!
