Pearl
1. Does Pearl restrain from making friends with any of the other children by her own choice, or by her mother's unintentional influence?
2. Pearl is often compared to mystical beings, such as an "airy sprite" or a "demon offspring". Why does Hester seem to struggle between deciding which one she is?
The Governor's Hall
1. Hester does not stop Pearl from violently running after the children in the town; does this suggest that she would rather Pearl be taken from her as a demon-child than as an orphan of an unfit mother?
2. Does the exaggerated reflection of Hester's scarlet letter symbolize the townspeople's view of Hester or Hester's view of herself?
