I have recently heard of the new drama surrounding Hester and her daughter Pearl along with the news of Dimmsedale falling ill. Apparently Bellingham, Wilson, Chillingworth, and Dimmesdale recently held a sort of trial for Hester. They supposedly believe Hester is not a fit parent. From what I've experienced, that little Pearl is a handful.
Somehow, Hester was able to keep Pearl. Rightfully so. I personally am glad Pearl was not taken away from her mother. She might be undisciplined but she is not abused nor neglected. I think Pearl is a permanent reminder and lesson from God. God would not have given Pearl to Hester if he did not have a reason for doing so. I think Pearl may even be able to prevent Hester from committing more sin and falling prey to Satan's temptations.
There was also news of Dimmesdale becoming sick and frail. That new doctor, Chillingworth, has assumed the position of caring for Dimmesdale. Rumor has it they've even moved into together in the hope that Chillingworth can cure Dimmesdale. That is a bit startling to me because I have heard gossips as the church say he is a sinister fellow. I do hope for Dimmesdales and the community's sake that this doctor is not associated with the devil. I've had my own suspicions of this Chillingworth character, his history is mostly a mystery.
