Chapter 8:
30. What reason does Hester give for her need to keep Pearl? Who supports her plea and why?
- Hester tells the clergy men that she can teach Pearl a lesson that she learned the hard way. Hester also says how she is learning from the scarlet letter everyday and can teach what she learns to her little Pearl. Dimmesdale says that they should not take away Pearl because God gave Hester Pearl and if they were to not lesson to what the creator intended them they would be doing wrong for him.
