1) On page 175, as Pearl kisses Dimmsdale on the scaffold, she starts crying and her tears "were a pledge that she would grow up amid human joy and sorrow." After so many instances of the other characters calling Pearl a demon or comparing her to satan, why is this sudden emotion displayed? What was Hawthorne's purpose in connecting Pearl to sympathy and perhaps even love? What does it have to do with how she will go forward in life, and how she used to act? What is the significance of her crying over Dimmsdale?
