Questions on 'Pearl' and 'The Governor's Hall'

Pearl
1. What similarities does Pearl share with Hester?
2. How does Hester's crime both help and detract from the rest of the town?
3. The Scarlet letter and, Pearl, because she reminds her of the letter, are both negative aspects of Hester's life. Does she have any positive aspects?

The Governor's Hall
1. Why does Hawthorne consistently make references to flowers?
2. How does the way the community wants to deal with Pearl resemble the Witch Hunts? What does this say about Puritan society?
