“Descent of mortals, and to be finally a blessed soul in heaven.” ( pg 80)
Hester is saying that Pearl is a real blessing from heaven. This reinforces the fact that she know’s Pearl is a part of nature because heaven is about as pure as it can get, but then there is nature. Nature is innocent and unknowing of its changing surroundings, a lot like Pearl. She doesn’t really know why the people look and treat her the way they do but she adapts to it like nature does. Here it is saying that she is not completely pure because she is a part of nature and, unlike heaven, there are impurities in nature. One of Pearl’s biggest impurities being her mother.
