I found this quote to be intriguing because the worst critic that would possibly rest their eyes on the scarlet letter is Pearl. Hester being forced to live with the demon child, of whom has come to become drawn to the letter, poses no escape from the ridicule. The last place that Hester would want to have to hide her true self or be ridiculed was within her own home. The child being drawn to the letter signifies that evil dwells within the child. Because she is a result of a sin, she has no need to act upon a life of reform, or to follow the rules. Uhh.. my brain has shut off...
