Dimmesdale argues that Hester should be allowed to keep Pearl because she has shown remorse for her sin, the child could be a blessing in her life, and separating them would not benefit anyone. He believes that by allowing Hester to raise Pearl with love and care, both of them have the potential for redemption and a chance for a better future.

Hester refuses to name the father of her child, Pearl, because she wants to protect his identity and keep his reputation intact. Naming him would only bring shame and ruin to both of them, as well as disrupt the delicate balance she has found in her life as a social outcast.
