In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne, the writer, has created a miserable love story that mainly revolves around a symbol of adultery, the scarlet letter. In addition to Hester Prynne, the woman who bears the shame of the Letter A, her daughter Pearl Prynne is also an important character closely connected to the symbol of sin in the book. From being a living letter ¡°A¡± to an elf who rises above the vulgar crowd, Pearl, throughout history, has developed into a dynamic symbol that brings us hope and strength. The most significant symbolic meaning of Pearl Prynne is that she is the living version of the scarlet letter, the scarlet letter endowed with life. For Pearl herself, the scarlet letter is part of her life that accompanied her as she grew up. Pearl was born from the love of Hester and Dimmesdale and the sin of adultery committed by an act of passion. In public opinion, the first day she came into the world, she was labeled with the shameful letter. Furthermore, Pearl coexisted with the letter. When she was still a baby, the letter shining on her mother's breast was the first thing she recognized. For hundreds of times he showed great interest in the letter. He picked flowers to hit the letter; he refused to accept his mother without her wearing the letter and even made his own letter ¡°A¡± out of seaweed and moss on the seashore. All these examples demonstrate that Pearl regarded the letter as an indispensable part of her life. In other words, Pear itself is the living letter. For her parents, Hester and Dimmesdale, Pearl plays the role of a living scarlet letter, forcing them to face reality and confess their sins to the entire world. Being the product of their passion, Pearl is a constant mental and physical reminder to her parents of what they had done wrong. It seems like her mission is to force her parents to suffer a lot of punishment while she grew up happily and innocently. Pearl achieved this successfully, making the letter the center of Hester's life. More than once, Pearl asked Hester about the letter, which caused Hester intense agony and engendered shame in her. With Pearl around her, Hester will never escape punishment for her wrong action.
