Discussion Questions: Pearl and The Governor's Hall

Pearl
1. Is there an ulterior reason as to why Hester thinks the way she does about Pearl? (Maybe Pearl reminds her of the sin she committed.) 
2. Does Hester believe that the birth of Pearl, as well as Pearl's special attributes are a punishment?
3. What was Hester afraid of? Why was she scared of pearl?
4. What did Pearl mean when she said she had no 'heavenly father'? How was she able to conclude that at such a young age? 

The Governor's Hall
1. Why did Hester visit the Governor?
2. In what ways are Pearl and the Scarlet letter alike?
