Discussion Questions: Pearl and The Governor's Hall

Pearl:

  1. Does Hester Prynne believe that her daughter, Pearl, is her punishment?
  2. Why does Hester only feel safe when her daughter is sleeping or why is she afraid when her daughter is awake?
The Governor's Hall
  1. Is Pearl seen as another Scarlet Letter, a punishment, that Hester Prynne has to "wear" or have with her at all times?
  2. Hester Prynne says, "Thou must gather thine own sunshine. I have no to give thee!" Is there another meaning to this statement besides the literal?
