'Pearl'
1.) Why does Hester appear to be afraid of Pearl and 'never [feel] a moment's safety' when Pearl is awake? (Hawthorne 87)
2.) When Hester asks Pearl who sent her here, Pearl responds saying 'Tell me'.Is this Pearl asking who her father is? (pages 88-89) Will Hester reveal to Pearl who her father is? Or will she keep it a secret even to her child?
'The Governor's Hall'
1.) What does Hester think of people taking Pearl from her? Will she do anything to stop them if they do?
2.)Why is it that Pearl 'attacks' the people who taunt her and Hester? Is Hester proud of her for doing this or does she simply not care? Hester shows no signs of disapproval/approval when Pearl does this, so what is her opinion on the matter?
