A Forest Walk
Pearl says that the sun is afraid of the scarlet letter and therefore will not shine on Hester. Hester is living in the dark. She tries to reach for the sunlight but it vanishes. That is said in the novel. It means that she is trying to clean up the mess she is in by pushing through everything and getting to the top of the hill, only to find there's nothing there. It has been taken away. Roger Chillingworth took it. He's evil. He is darkness, and is the leech stuck to Hester. When Hester reaches for a way to tell Dimmesdale the truth, Chillingworth makes her think twice about what she does, so she lives in the dark, searching, eagerly, for the light.
