Discussion Questions (Pearl + The Governors Hall)

Pearl

Why did Pearl not make any acquaintances or friends as a child?

Is the fact that the town people think Pearl “was a demon offspring” (89) affecting her as a child? Will it affect her as she grows older?

The Governors Hall

Why does Hester dress Pearl in the same colors as her scarlet letter?


Why does Hester tell Pearl, “Thou must gather thine own sunshine. I have non to give thee?” (93) What is the significance of sunlight in this scene?
