2 paragraphs of striking events or quotes: Pg. 256-266

The quote: "If thou callest me that ill name, I will tell him of thee, and he will chase thy ship with a tempest!" This quote struck me. It struck me, because Mistress Hibbins said that Pearl's father is the Prince of the Air. No one really knows who Pearl's father is, so when Mistress Hibbins states this, it's quite odd. When Pearl was told about the Prince of the Air, it probably went to her head that she was some kind of princess. (Pg. 256)

The event: "It was a ghastly look with which he regarded them; but there was something at once tender and strangely triumphant in it." This event struck me, because the Reverend is dying and he's giving a ghastly yet tender look. They're all upon the scaffold, where Hester had been publicly shamed 7 years ago. The Reverend is about to present his secret to the public, and calls for his family to hold him. They all stand together, and accept the shame together. (Pg. 262)
