Dialectical Journal 38

Full concern, therefore…trip and tumble (PG 90)

They want to take Pearl away to save Hester’s soul., which meant that they thought that Pearl was poisoning it and making Hester darker. Since Pearl was thought of as an allusion or part of nature and the Puritan society thought Nature was connected with the devil, then maybe they thought Hester’s sin was making her worse. They wanted to separate them so that the two of them couldn’t complete each other anymore. She went to the Governor’s anyway to get an interview to stop this, pearl was all she had left.
