Nature (PG 88)
There are many magic elements of nature that connect Hester and Pearl to it. In the Puritan society, magic is comparable to the works of the devil and people who were thought to use magic were put to death, therefore it only makes sense that there are magical streams that run through the connection on Hester and Pearl to nature. Aside from magic, the Puritans belive that nature is evil anyway, such as the forest that harbors the black man. Hawthorn is implying however that there is light in nature and that Hester and Pearl are the things that make up the light because of their pureness.
