The quote: "I am mother's child," answered the scarlet vision, "and my name is Pearl!" This quote struck me. It struck me, because she clamored who she was, and seemed proud. It's quite odd when an abomination becomes proud of who they are, and of a mother who committed adultery, which they are the product of. She is a scarlet vision, because Hester clothes her in the very color of that of the scarlet letter, that burns into her very soul. She wishes to be reminded of this heinous crime, for some odd reason. Maybe to be an example of what not to do ever again. (Pg. 113)

The quote: "The little baggage hath witchcraft in her, I profess," said he to Mr. Dimmesdale. "She needs no old woman's broomstick to fly withal!" This quote struck me, because It describes Pearl as a witch. (Or that she has witchcraft.) Usually, she is described as an elf, or a sprite, with intelligence and mischievousness. When she was little, she was said to have cursed at the other children like a witch, but nothing much of witchcraft and broomsticks. It's interesting that the author portrays her as these mythical beings, in such a world of unpretentious Puritans. (Pg. 119)
