the scarlet letter, symbol 35

Chapter 19

After Hester tore the scarlet letter of her bosom...she says "Come, dearest child!" to Pearl. Pearl won't listen to her because she is not the same anymore. The only one she has been close to her whole life is her mother, known with the A on her bosom. It's obvious that she won't go to her when she is not the same. The one and only thing she knew is not the same anymore because she is not wearing the scarlet letter. The scarlet letter was Hester characteristics.

  1. Yes, think about your mother. If you returned home and her head was shaved or she had a visible tattoo what would you say?
