Is the reality of the world different from how we perceive and experience it in our minds? Does physical reality exist apart from the human mind?

Although Hawthorne tried to mark Pearl as an evil reminder for Hester of her past and her shameful acts, for me Pearl felt more like a savior. She reminds Hester of the spirit of nature, the delight of company and the hope for a good future.Serena_Charlotte wrote: ↑19 Jun 2018, 12:15 I liked the symbol of Pearl herself as a punishment for Hester. I've always thought of Pearl as a demon inside a child's body. She had a habit of throwing things at the scarlet "A", constantly reminding Hester that it was there. I also liked the scarlet "A" as a symbol because as time passed, people began to misinterpret it as "Able" rather than, perhaps, "Adulteress".

It is honestly fantastic; sad though it is, the cultural norms that permeate through the texts make for an abrasive but very interesting read.

I also agree that by the time you get to the end of the story, the letter seems to have a different meaning, something less scandalous and embarrassing.
