It presents a vivid and tender scene of Pearl’s innocence and freedom.
The simile “flew away like a bird” and the detailed description of her
“small white feet” pattering along the sea margin vividly depict Pearl
as a lively, unrestrained child. In contrast to the rigid, judgmental
Puritan society, Pearl’s natural behavior symbolizes purity and
vitality, offering a moment of warmth and beauty in the otherwise
oppressive narrative. It also highlights Hester’s attempt to find
moments of normalcy and connection amidst their marginalized lives.

It vividly portrays his physical and psychological deterioration. The
details like “paler and thinner cheek”, “more tremulous voice”, and the
habitual gesture of pressing hand over heart create a strong sense of
his inner torment and guilt. The series of questions at the end also
invite readers to speculate about his suffering, emphasizing the
destructive power of hidden sin in the Puritan society context. Overall,
it’s a masterful depiction of character psychology and thematic exploration.
