My essential question is in what way does Hester fight for her child? (Psychological) This picture immediately caught my eye because this symbolizes Hester holding Pearl close to her chest at the beginning of the novel. She was not going to let go of her pride and joy, especially during the worst time of her life.

In the novel "The Scarlet Letter", Hester is trying to do everything she can to give Pearl the best life she can possibly have. Hester is ashamed of her ways and hates that Pearl had to live in prison at the beginning of her life, even though she will not remember it. Immediately after Hester and Pearl were released from prison, the townspeople were shaming them and tearing them apart. Children were flinging mud at them and Pearl got so infuriated that she chased them away. As the mother, Hester feels horrible that Pearl would get so angry because it is what she knows and Hester wants nothing more than to fight and protect for her precious Pearl.

There is nothing quite like a mother-daughter bond. As a mother, your job is to provide, protect, and love unconditionally. Hester wants nothing more for her child than to be happy and she does not want anything that has happened in Hester's time affect Pearl and her life and career.

In conclusion, mothers have the deepest and strongest love for their children. Hester loves Pearl more than life herself and she wants her to succeed and have the best life possible. Mothers are going to do whatever they need to do to protect their children from everything. You are a reflection of your parent and Hester wants Pearl to be proud of her mom. Mothers want the absolute best for their children, and they are going to do whatever it takes to get them to the top, even in the worst situations.
