The Interview
- Is Roger Chillingworth justified in believe it's his fault that Hester Prynne was compelled to cheat on him?
- Why would Hester marry Roger if she "...felt no love, nor feigned any"?
Hester at her Needle
- Does the description of the children calling Hester names they don't understand support the idea that hate is taught, and not natural?
- Hesters seems to know that she's not alone in sinning. Could this be foreshadowing a bond with another sinner?
Pearl
- Does Pearl asking Hester where she comes from signifiy that Hester is lying to herself about the event that placed her under her current circumstances?
- Could the name Pearl signify she is Hester's reward for the pain she's been through (i.e. the pearl built around the irritating grain of sand)?
The Governor's Hall
- Could the contrast of light and dark used to describe Pearl be related to Hester thinking she is both a reward and a demon?
- Does Hester's refusal to give Pearl 'sunshine' represent her lack of joy and happiness?
