I’m Pearl, the daughter of a sinner and the consequence of my mom’s sin. I was born because my mother had decided to cheat on her husband, “Chillingworth,” which neither the people or my mom knew his whereabouts. I am a bastard child. I don’t even know my father! When my mom decided to get with another man other than her husband Chillingworth, people found out and she was accused of adultery and thrown in jail. I was born in jail, so I was basically serving the same time as my mother in jail. Than after she was released, she was taken to the scafole with me in her hands. There everyone looked down on us. One woman from the crowd said “The judge is a good man, but he was to kind. At the very least, they should have branded her forehead. She would have felt that. Instead, she just has to wear a cloth letter on her clothes! That’s no punishment! She can cover it up, or she can even decorate it and wear it with pride.” Page 32. They wanted to do more to my mother if possible death. One time we my mother and I went to the governors house to give him a pair of gloves, he said to me that I was the person that they were talking about. They were planning on taking me away from my mother. They thought that she was not teaching me the christian religion. They were trying to give me away to another family they thought would be suitable for me. My mom got to an argument with them and she told them why they should not take me away from her. The good thing is that reverend Dimmesdale was on my mother’s side he convinced the governor and the others to let me stay with my mom. http://www.funbrain.com/
