In a way fair, the reason for it being fair was because she refused to reveal the father of the child. Although it wasn’t fair that Pearl had to spend her first few years living in a cold, dark prison. It was also very unfair to Hester because her husband took up the alias of “ Roger Chillingworth” he also supposedly admitted to forcing Hester into the marriage. (Hawthorne 64) Hester was pretty young when she got married, therefore she wasn’t ready for marriage. Also the fact is Hester didn’t know whether Roger was alive or not. It would be overall better for Pearl to be with Hester, because Pearl could learn from her mother’s mistakes. Hester knows what she did was wrong. Hester knows in her heart she was wrong. Hester believes that Pearl can make her better, not only is the scarlet letter a reminder of Hester’s mistake it’s also Pearl, Pearl was also Hester’s consequence for her actions. Pearl is Hester’s blessing as well as a curse that she’s going to have to live with. (Hawthorne
