The Scarlet Letter .. Chapter Eight - The Elf-Child and the Minister .. Post #22 && 23
""You speak, my friend, with a strange earnestness," said old Roger Chillingworth, smiling at him."
Why is he smiling at him? Its just like if he feels superior...
Does he maybe know that the Reverend Dimmesdale is the father of little Pearl? Or is it just a normal smile?
"...taking his hand so tender, and withal so unobtrusive, that..." (Pg. 102)
And what about her?
Does she know that Reverend Dimmesdale is her father? She trusts him and it seems like she has some kind of bounding to him. Just like Hester can see in people's hearts and seeing their sins, can Pearl look into his heart and see that he is more than just a normal person?

The Scarlet Letter .. Chapter Eight - The Elf-Child and the Minister .. Post #21 && 22
"What little bird of scarlet..." (Pg. 97)
Birds usually stay for freedom and a life without any sorrows. Could it really be that Pearl wants to have freedom? Does that mean that Hester is a bad mother because Pearl wants to have more freedom?
Could it be that she cares to much?
"Pearl? - Ruby rather! - or Coral! - or Red Rose, ..."
He drives me crazy with those red things.
Seems like he is totally obsessed with the color red.
And again he is using the rose bush. Does he always describe freedom with it?
The red color could also mean that Pearl is full of love and she exists of love. She was not created out of force, just of pure love.

The Scarlet Letter .. Chapter Seven - The Governor's Hall .. Post #19 && 20
"There were a few rose-bushes [...] by the Reverend Mr. Blackstone..."
Again Hawthorne takes the rose bush. Again it is combined with the color black, just as in the first chapter [The red rosebush and the black prison]
Does it mean something that the rose bush appears immediately after the scarlet letter?
"Pearl, seeing the rose-bushes, began to cry for a red rose..."
Could it be that she reacts on nearly EVERYTHING that is red?
She used to react to the scarlet letter on Hester's bosom, when she was on her arm and now she reacts on this roses.
Why is she doing that?
And could it be that she is crying for freedom in here? As the rosebushes stand for freedom or at least the opposite of this society it could be that Pearl does not get along with it...

"...fitted Aladdin's palace..."
Aladdin's palace is a huge building, it's decorated and colorful.
As described in chapter one, the society is gray, with a lot of unindividual people so this palace does not fit into this society. Its actually quite the opposite.
So why does he live in such a big and fancy house?
Does Governor Bellingham is an individual person just like Hester?
Does he maybe not fit into this society?

The Scarlet Letter .. Chapter Six - Pearl .. Post #17
"We have yet [...] had sprung [...] immortal flower..." (Pg. 80, ll. 1-4)
In this paragraph Perl is described with nature.
To spring stands in connection with spring and that stands for something beautiful come out from a dark and hard time, the winter.
Further she is described as a flower and flowers usually are very colorful, what is the total opposite of the colors of the Colony, which is the unindividual gray.

The Scarlet Letter .. Chapter Five - Hester at her Needle .. Post #15 && 16
"It may seem [...] could be broken" (Pg. 72 ll. 7-33)
Here it gets clear that Hester does not leave because she people stay at the place they sinned or at least come back to it. But she could go back to England or somewhere else to offer her child and her a better life without the condemnation of the scarlet letter on her breast. So why doesn't she leave? Is the place of sin the only reason or are there maybe a few more reasons?
"...whenever it struggled out of her heart, like a serpent from its hole..." (Pg. 72, ll. 35-36)
Here the motive of the snake is used again. It stands in connection with her sin, hiding and fear from people finding out about Pearl's father. The snake stands for Roger Chillingworth, so could it be that she is most afraid that he finds out about it and does not keep what he promised?
