As I read this few chapters, I had annotated a few
pages. I will be putting what I had thought while reading. At first, I had
already guessed on chapter 3 that the man named roger might’ve been Hester’s
husband, which he is, if one reads on in chapter 3. On chapter 4, Hester was on
the state of “nervous excitement.” I
wonder why… Hester also had a reason to
not trust Roger because he said “ ‘…have made a better physician of me than
many that claim the medical degree.’” After all, he does not have a medical
degree… On chapter 5, Hester recalled that she was able to “convert the scene
into a kind of humid triumph.” This was a great thing for her. Hester also
became a real, living symbol of a sin. On chapter 6 the readers find out more
about the child of Hester. Hester thought of Pearl as a cursed child because of
her sin and Pearl is not really the socially adept child.
"But
she named the infant 'Pearl,' as being of great price- purchased with all she
had- her mother's only pleasure." Chapter VI, 'Pearl'
