"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.
Red - blood, which is life.
