The Scarlet Letter:
I think that what will happen in the rest of the book is that Roger, Hester's "husband" will find out who slept with this wife and take vengeance on him, as he promised. Pearl, Hester's child, a girl of three now, very intelligent and her thoughts on religion is being tested and she replies with non-religious answers implying that she does not want to answer their questions. In the eyes of the older men, she is being raised in a wrong manner and I think that Pearl is going to be taken away and given to another family. Pearl is probably doing this on purpose, for she possibly does not like her mother and does not like the way she is treated from the kids of her age, because her mother has the scarlet letter stitched on her clothing. There is also the possibility of the father of Pearl can take her into his hands and raise her, and leave Hester in depression and solitude.
