“Come away mother! Come away, or yonder old Black Man will catch you! He hath got the hold of the minister already… he will catch you! But he cannot catch little Pearl” (Hawthorn 122).

Even if a lot of people think ill of Pearl. One must wonder if she is not a gift from God. From just looking at the minister and Chillingworth he was able to see that Chillingworth was a diabolical man. She knew that he had taking over the minister and might even come for her mother. It is peculiar that the small child was able to uncover Chillingworth’s plans so easily but reverend was not able to see it coming for himself. Ever since Chillingworth has been working with the clergymen, his health started deteriorating. Chillingworth came to do one thing in the town of Boston and it was the devil’s work. He embodies the devil spiritual and physically but also as a supreme judge or god. Because what he really did was look at Dimesdale sin and punished him as he best see fit. Chillingworth came and did exactly what he going to do, and was avenge it lost.

“ Representing the Scriptural story of David and Bathsheba” (115).
The depiction of Nathan the Prophet denouncing David adulterous affair with Bathsheba goes well with this story. Because David who was king and well reverend and respected had an affair with a beautiful married women. To making sure that her husband was not going to come back he puts him at the front line of battle so he could easily be killed. Nonetheless, David paid his dues because he lost his the child he had wit Bathsheba. What does this say about Dimmesdale he is going to loose is child or is he going to pay a high price for his action? The reader could infer for now that that he might pay this price with his own soul that Chilingworth is planning on destroying. Nonetheless in the Bible David was a good and prosperous king. He did a lot for the advancement of his people and is now known as one of the great kings of Israel.
