"we have spoken of Pearl's rich and luxuriant beauty; a beauty that shone with deep and vivid tints; a bright complexion, eyes possessing intensity both of depth and glow, and hair already deep, glossy brown, and which, in after years, would be nearly akin to black. There was a fire in her and throughout her; she seemed the unpremeditated offshoot passionate moment." (Hawthorne 90) Reading this quote in the scarlet letter helped me have a better understanding of Pear herself. They expressed her with descriptive words that really made me feel like I knew her better. Pearl seemed to be an outgoing, fun, loving child that was always on the go with energy. I think Pearl being the ball of energy she was, helped her mother out. Pearl was all her mother had and you could tell they had a bond, Pearl stood up for her mother in this section and made it clear she was proud to have her as a mother.
Pearl was the love of Hester's life and you could tell because the way she talked about her. Even though Hester had committed the crime of adultery and Pearl was the outcome, she did not love Pearl any less and Pearl seemed to be an outstanding child.
