Pearl

Click on the links below to go to the Flickr page for each photograph.

 Flickr Hester Prynne had a baby out of wedlock and named her Pearl.
 Flickr Pearl is a baby girl, but she is more than that...
 Flickr She is a living reminder of Hester's sin, just like the scarlet letter "A" that Hester must wear.
 Flickr Pearl is hard for the townspeople, or even Hester Prynne, to understand.
 Flickr Through most of the story, she is a mystery.
 Flickr She is both a sin, and a blessing.
 Flickr It is not until the truth is known about her parents' sin that Pearl can be seen simply as a little girl.
