Not as a name expressive…Mother’s only treasure ( pg 80)
She is saying that having Pearl was a huge price to pay for a night of lust and love. But Hester believes that she is worth it. This goes back to when Hawthorne represents the idea that living a life of love is better then preserving your love because it’s the right thing to do. When Hester looks at her beautiful Pearl and thinks about the sin she has committed and realizes that she is on the outside of the Puritan society, I think she actually feels like she has won. She feels like she has won because she followed her heart and ended up being blessed with a daughter and no matter the circumstances Pearl was the best thing that had ever happened to Hester.
