In Scarlet Letter why does pearl not recognize her mother when she sees her with Dimmesdale in the forest?
Hawthorne makes it fairly explicit that Pearl is the symbolic representation of Hester Prynne's scarlet letter: she is the product of her adultery, and as she grows, Pearl comes to embody the letter itself. When she sees her mother and Dimmesdale in the forest, then, the absence of the scarlet letter makes her mother foreign to her. The scarlet letter is her connection to her mother; in a way, she is the scarlet letter. To see her mother without it, then, is as if to see a stranger. The letter has consumed and subsumed Hester so much that without the letter, she is not the same person. Any distance between Hester and letter is, to Pearl, an impossibility, so thoroughly has Hester's life become her adultery, and taking it off is to make her unrecognizable to her daughter.
