Pearl was the representation of Hester's affair with that priest man. Pearl was a "devilish" child and so represented the Evil that Hester had committed. She was Hester's true "Scarlet letter". Pearl was young, outgoing, and carefree while her mother was the complete oposite.
Hester Prynne from "The Scarlet Letter" and Monica Geller from "Friends" both face challenges related to societal judgment. Hester deals with public shame for her adultery, while Monica grapples with her competitive nature and controlling tendencies. Both characters also show resilience and strength in facing their struggles and trying to overcome them.
The scarlet token, or the letter A, initially causes Hester to suffer shame and alienation from society, leading to a transformation in her appearance towards a more subdued and somber style. However, over time, Hester develops a sense of inner strength and resilience, which is reflected in her more stoic temperament despite the continued judgment and ostracism from the community.
In "The Scarlet Letter," Pearl's personality is influenced by both heredity and environment. Her independent and wild nature could be attributed to her mother Hester's strong-willed character. Additionally, growing up in the restrictive Puritan society of 17th-century Boston shaped Pearl's behavior, making her rebellious and unconventional.
