Pearl is upset becuase the A is what she grew up to know her mother by. She grew up knowing her mother dressed modestly, with her hair pinned back, and the letter on her chest. However the minute Hester unpins her hair, and throws the "A" away, it makes Pearl highly uncomfortably and agitated. She, like all small children are slaves to familiarity. Hester is not her true mother without the A.
Pearl is upset because the scarlet letter is not just a symbol of Hester's sin and shame, but also a powerful bond between them. It serves as a constant reminder of their shared experience and the love they have for each other despite society's judgment. Pearl feels its absence as a loss of this connection.
Hester dresses herself in dull colors to show her melancholy mood, but dresses Pearl with bright colors to represent the scarlet letter + to show that Pearl is full of life & different from the other characters who are suffering from the sin
Because Pearl is so used to seeing her mother with it. Her first ever memory of her mother was this A. I would be almost as if you grew up your entire life seeing your mother/father in glasses then suddenly out of the blue they begin to wear contacts.
