The Child at the Brook Side
“She had flung it into infinite space! -… here again was the scarlet misery, glittering on the old spot…her beauty, her warmth and richness of her womanhood, departed, like fading sunshine; and a grey shadow seemed to fall across her” (Hawthorne 166).
Analysis- Before Hester called Pearl to see the minister, she removed the scarlet letter from her bosom and the sun that used to hide from her once came upon her which signifies/suggests that nature (God) has forgiven. But she puts on the letter and the sun (nature- God) departs from her again because she has associated herself with sin (scarlet letter). On the other hand, pearl does not go back to her mother because she does not see the scarlet letter in her bosom, she is skeptical of why the letter is no more there. Pearl’s refusal to return to her mother suggests that sin, the scarlet letter, is a part of her mother’s identity and cannot just be thrown away, it can’t be run from. It ties to the puritan’s belief of predestination which means that your destiny is already foreordained by God. Hester cannot just throw away the scarlet letter because she once embraced it and it is now part of her. The only way that she can be free of it is if she explains to Hester why she is wearing the letter. Pearl is parallel with nature, they welcomed honesty and this is what Hester needs to do with pearl, she needs to be honest with her and that is how she is going to be free from the letter.

The Minister in a Maze
“Then flinging the already written pages of the election sermon into the fire, he forthwith began another, which he wrote with such impulsive flow of thought and emotion” (Hawthorne 176).
Analysis- in previous chapter, Minister Dimmesdale did not have a peace of mind, such can be seen where he punishes himself physically and emotionally because of his hidden seen, but not anymore. The meeting with Hester in the woods has changed him. The motion of him throwing away the old sermon that was written and begins to write a new one reveals that and his life, anew. This is similar the saying in the New Testament, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come” (2 Corinthians). Dimmesdale is enlighten with his encounter with Hester and pearl and feels like he has being born again, like he has become a new creature. His only prayer is that Heaven accepts him, but still he is a hypocrite because he has refuse to join hand with the mother and daughter in public and he is still preaching as a sinner to a congregation.

The New England Holiday
“ But at that instant she beheld old Roger Chillingworth himself, standing in the remotest comer of the market-place and smiling on her; a smile which--across the wide and bustling square, and through all the talk and laughter, and various thoughts, moods, and interests of the crowd--conveyed secret and fearful meaning” (Hawthorne 183).
Analysis--- Chillingworth is at the climax of his revenge. Context clue provides the reader that Chillingworth already knows that the Minister knows about his secret and is about to reveal the secret of the Minister. This is very Ironic because as he reveals Dimmesdale secret, he will also reveal the secret of him being Hester’s former husband. This is what happens when the two biggest sinners in the community lives together, their sin feeds on each other. Chillingworth has been devoured by hate and the need for revenge (preyed on the soul of the minister because he blames him for his current predicament, but Hawthorne lets us know that Roger Chillingworth and Hester never had a reasonable connection as husband and wife). He is no longer what the puritans define as human. His secrets and lies in the service of righteous revenge have made him worse than Miss Hibbins who is a servant of the black man

The Procession
“They say, child, thou are the art of the linage of the prince of the air” (Hawthorne 189).
Analysis--- This has a lot of interpretation. First When pearl was born, she was conceived by the sin her mother, Hester did which was adultery and has been an outcast of the puritan society. In previous chapters, she has been associated by the devil ( the demon offspring/ the elf child) which was why the minister Wilson almost took her away from Hester, the fact that she is not accepted in the puritans society links her to the devil which is miss Hibbins tell her that her father is the prince of the air. Another interpretation would be that since Hester and Reverend Dimmesdale are sinners, and the puritan’s belief of predestination condemns them, there are not servants of the devil which her father will be the prince of the air. The prince can also be Dimmesdale because he is committing a bi(gger sin by not confessing his sin, but further more going to preach to the people of God. Miss Hibbins says she can always tell a servant of the Black Man, and that both Hester and Dimmesdale are such servants.
The Revelation of the Scarlet Letter
“A spell was broken ... her tears fell upon her father's cheek, they were the pledge that she would grow up amid human joy and sorrow, nor for ever do battle with the world, but be a woman towards it. Towards her mother, too, Pearl's errand as a messenger of anguish was all fulfilled” (Hawthorne 198).
Analysis--- The revelation of Dimmesdale sin and the scarlet letter does not only free him from the prison that he built for himself and the destruction that was to come from Chillingworth, at the same time, Chillingworth also losses his chance for revenge. Dimmesdale confession also frees Pearl from the chains of the scarlet letter that once bound her from society. She was once called the child of sin (adultery and lust and ignominy), but she is now the child of passion and love. Dimmesdale confession couldn’t save his life, but it does save Pearl. It connects her to humanity (Puritans). The reader can infer that pearl is going to have a better life that they thought at the beginning of the book.
Conclusion
“All his strength and energy—all his vital and intellectual force— seemed at once to desert him…This unhappy man had made the very principle of his life to consist in the pursuit and systematic exercise of revenge; and when by "its completes! Triumph and consummation, that evil principle was left with no further material to support it, when, in short, there was no more Devil's work on earth for him to do” (Hawthorne 202).
Analysis--- The audience can now understand why Roger Chillingworth was called the black man and the leech. First he was called the black man because she acted and looked like him. Revenge is a sin and Chillingworth was driven by the sin that it became his food, his motives and action depended on the thought of revenge. His physical transformation also depicts why he is called the black man. The fact that Dimmesdale continued to get worse with Chillingworth by his side puts him in the position .The other reason that he is called the leech is because leeches feed on blood and the blood that he used to feed o (literary) was that of Reverend Dimmesdale and now that the man is dead, he does not have any one to feed off on so he (being the leech) dies. Roger Chillingworth depended on Dimmesdale sin to live and now that the sin has been confessed and he did not get his revenge, there is not work left to be done but to die. Chillingworth can be compare to the devil in John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy”. Chillingworth came to destroy Dimmesdale, his plan was part of the reason that Dimmesdale died.
