“A story about the Black Man... How e haunts and carries a book with him a heavy book... and they are to write their names with their own blood” (Hawthorn 167).

No one really knows about Pearl’s insightful ways. She seems to know things that most kids her age would understand or even care about. She is an exaggerated character because she does not child like traits. She not the type of kid who jus cries or teases adults. She is there to guide the reader and at times she points out the very obvious and other give powerful insights on a character. She knows everything right from wrong, truths from lies, and good and evil by just looking at people; but at the same time she makes weird and outrageous claims. When she told her mother about the Black Man, and his book in the forest. Although true but how would she know this. Hawthorns young character a there to serve a purpose but he characterize the speech or some times their action as of an adults. Nonetheless, no one really knows about kids during that time period but it is doubtful they comprehended the world around them so well. When reading about them it is like they are not real.


“I have laughed, in bitterness and agony of heart, at the contrast between what I seem and what I am!” (173).

For Arthur Dimmesdale to accept his redemption it probably has to personally be announced to him by Jesus Christ himself. He is constantly beating himself up for something that he should probably have moved on from. If he carries the burden it is fine, a lot of things people do forgive themselves but never forget about it. Dimmesdale just let the whole tragedy run his whole entire life, so much that it is slowly killing him and making him vulnerably the Satan’s revenge. After the number of years that pass he shows of made a decision to free himself already. People like him do not feel like they could earn God’s love because they are not worthy. Out all people Dimmesdale should of know, it is said in the Bible and taught throughout religion except for few that God’s love is always there and all one has to do is ask for it. Dimmesdale is much more than worthy then God’s love. It is like he asks and asks for forgiveness and when it is given to him just turns away from it. The way you know that God has forgiven you is because He is gives you the courage and the opportunity to forgive yourself. Dimmesdale is just not taking these many opportunities he just laments and gets more and more sick and weak every day. If he opened his eyes he would see that the best thing that ever happen to Boston and he is the best clergymen ever because is leaves and understands the congregation’s struggles.
