Hester and Pearls relationship

I am going to talk about the many difficulties that Hester and Pearl have to deal with. I think that Hester has a lot on her plate being a single mother and how she has to support her own self and a little girl. I think that not many people who read this book focus on the relationship between Hester and her first born daughter Pearl. Their relationship is strong and always will be. Being my moms first born, I know how it feels to have that certain bond between mother and daughter. I think that being a single mom is incredibly difficult. Especially back then when there is no finances that go to children with only one parent. One of my favorite passages in the book is when Hester and Pearl are in the woods and Hester is trying to get Pearl to come to her from across the other side of the river. Hester has taken off her letter A and says
"look down at thy feet! There! before thee! on the hither side of the brook! Bring it hither!" Pearl responds to her by saying " Come thou and take it up" Pearl has grown up with seeing her mom wear that letter A. So when Hester takes off the A and throws it onto the ground Pearl sees almost a different person. It also offends Pearl because she is the living proof of her mothers crime. And when Hester takes off that it's almost saying that she doesn't want Pearl anymore. I think that Hester is done with wearing that letter A but it is something that she will always have to live with because Pearl will always be her daughter no matter what. When I read this passage I thought of the things that my mother and I have in common and that if she didn't have those features then she wouldn't be the same person.
I think that in this essay I will make a lot of references to my relationship with my mom and how I can see the trouble that Hester has to face buy I think that Hester has done a really good job raising her brilliant Pearl and that she should have no regrets.
