In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne, the writer, has created a story of miserable love that develops mainly around a symbol of adultery: the letter scarlet. Besides Hester Prynne, the woman who bears the shame of the letter A, her daughter Pearl Prynne is also an important character closely linked to the symbol of sin in the book. From a living letter ¡°A¡± to an elf rising above the common crowd, Pearl, throughout history, has become 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 a part of her life that accompanied her growing up. Pearl was born from the love of Hester and Dimmesdale as well as the sin of adultery committed through an act of passion. In the public eye, the first day she came into the world, she was labeled with a shameful letter. Additionally, Pearl coexisted with the letter. When she was still a little baby, the letter shining on her mother's breast was the first thing she recognized. Hundreds of times she expressed great interest in the letter. She collected flowers to strike the letter; she refused to accept her mother without her carrying the letter, and she even made her own letter "A" out of seaweed and moss by the sea. All examples show that Pearl considered the letter as an indispensable element of his life. In other words, Pear herself is the living letter. To her parents, Hester and Dimmesdale, Pearl acts as a living scarlet letter, forcing them to face reality and confess their sins to the world. A product of their passion, Pearl is a constant mental and physical reminder to her parents of what they did wrong. It seems her mission is to force her parents to suffer a lot of punishment while she was raised in happiness and innocence. Pearl successfully accomplished this by placing the letter at the center of Hester's life. More than once, Pearl questioned Hester about the letter, which caused the intense agony of shame generated in her by Hester. With Pearl by her side, Hester will never escape punishment for her evil deed..
