Journal 1: In the debut. we learn about the unidentified storyteller who is the main executive officer of the Salem Custom House. Since there are hardly any ships that comes to Salem. the storyteller spends his clip seeking to divert himself. One showery twenty-four hours he stumbles upon a heap of paperss and finds a manuscript with a gold fabric in the form of a missive A.
It is a work written by Jonathan Pue. who had an involvement in local history and he wrote about the events that happened in the center of the 17th century.

Because Hester refuses to uncover the male parent of her kid she is sentenced to three hours on the scaffold and have to have on the vermilion missive for infinity.
Governor Bellingham does non force Hester farther in uncovering the other evildoer and Hester is led back into the prison. One major subject that surfaces is Pride. Even with the humiliation of walking through a crowd have oning a vermilion missive A on her thorax. Hester non one time did she look ashamed. She held her caput high with her kid and walked through the crowd with elegance and beauty.
Journal 2 One of the many quotation marks that describe Pearl is. “Certainly. there was no physical defect. By its perfect form. its energy. and its natural sleight in the usage of all its unseasoned limbs. the baby was worthy of to hold been brought Forth in Eden ; worthy to hold been left at that place. to be the toy of the angels. after the world’s first parents were driven out. ” This quotation mark tells us about Pearls character. Because of Hesters wickedness. Pearl was brought into this universe.
Hester is seeing if anything is traveling to go on because of her guiltiness in the function of being Pearl’s female parent who gave birth to her with another adult male. Pearl is besides similar to the Scarlet Letter that Hester has to have on. She is at that place to remind Hester of her wickedness and this torments her. Another quotation mark is. “But Pearl. who was a audacious kid. after glowering. stomping her pes. and agitating her small manus with a assortment of baleful gestures. all of a sudden made a haste at the knot of her enemies. and set them all to flight. ” This tells us that Pearl is brave and will non stand people maltreating her of her female parent.
Even though Pearl knows she is an castaway and is different from all the other kids this does non convey her down. She still has her pride and will non stand for anyone destroying it. The concluding quotation mark is. “After seting her finger in her oral cavity. with many ungracious refusals to reply good Mr. Wilson’s inquiries. the kid eventually announced that she had non been made at all. but had been plucked by her female parent off the shrub of wild roses that grew by the prison door. ”
This tells us Pearl has regard in herself and will non subject to the bullying of others. Pearl knows she was born from her female parent after her talk about her Heavenly male parent. Alternatively of stating Mr. Wilson that she is a small rebellious and says alternatively that she was plucked off of roses when she sees the roses in the Governor’s garden and her remembrance of the roses by the prison.

Even before cognizing that his intuitions of Dimmesdale being the lover of his married woman. Chillingworth still tortured Dimmesdale by utilizing his cognition of psychological science to do the clergyman experience even more guilty.
