In The Scarlet Letter, John Wilson questions Pearl to determine her spiritual wellbeing and upbringing.

John Wilson is a character from the famous writing "The Scarlet Letter." In the book, John Wilson is an Elder Minister which prods the main character Hester into revealing the identity of the father of Pearl.
Pearl playfully teased Mr. Wilson by saying that she has not committed enough sins to be able to answer all his questions about catechism. She showed her mischievous and witty nature in her response.
Mr. Wilson and Governor Bellingham assume that Pearl's refusal to answer their question means she cannot testify to Hester's suitability as a parent. The narrator suggests that Pearl deliberately chooses not to answer out of a mix of loyalty to her mother and a deeper understanding of the situation beyond her years.
