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.

Hester sometimes crumbled into “passionate tears” and Pearl would “frown, and clench her little fist and harden her small features into a stern, unsympathizing look of discontent. Not seldom, she would laugh anew, and louder then before, like a thing incapable and unintelligent of human sorrow.” Only an atrocity bred of evil could fathom such a heartless reaction at an age without knowledge. Infancy is supposedly the most innocent stage in one’s life; it arrives before the world’s truths break the spirit of purity. Pearl, on the other hand, was wicked from birth’s hour. Thus Pearl was indelibly more sinful than Roger Chillingworth, Arthur Dimmsdale, and Hester Prynne because their offenses were acquired after worldly introduction and were so terribly material themselves. Sin was instinct for this
ubject 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 he
