Sin, a word seemingly without demand of reverence has far greater inertia for some than imaginable, and others never get wrapped in the arms of temptation, greed, lust and any number of morally wrong actions and feelings. Though a single word, sin has infinital facets. Sin can be measured on personal opinion, religious values, societal beliefs, and many other levels. Sin can be felt at unnamable frequencies personally or publicly. Literature, for the most part, is based on genuine human experience. Reality is the only legitimately decisive plane upon which an author can base a piece of writing. Hence, literature encompasses the quintessential human flaw sin in all of its lineaments through the use of characters, instances, and symbols. Similarly, eloquently within the folds of The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Pearl subtly becomes the epitome of sin and the embodiment of unrelenting evil, using her actions and impish notions as a medium. .
Pearl, as a symbol in the story, was one of the inordained union of her mother Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmsdale, outside the parameter of Hester's lacking marriage to Roger Chillingworth. Retaining the subject of that very marriage, Hester was young and strikingly beautiful, untamed in her youthfulness when Roger plucked her from that very field of youth. Chillingworth was a man much older than she and with a noticeable deformity in his back. Roger, at one point, told Hester of his feeling that he"d essentially raped her youth with the prospect of love that never existed and that he"d coaxed her into wedlock. After this brooding confession, one can draw an alarmingly fathomable conclusion that Pearl is also a representation of Roger's treason on behalf of Hester's supple youth, yet another sin the enigma Pearl has acquired. The "elf child" as she is referred to in The Scarlet Letter, is by default and meaning, doomed to sin. So many transgressions were factors in her existence itself.
