When I made this i compared straight across. Hester to Dimmesdale, and Pearl to Chillingworth. Now I'd like to make connections diagonally. Hester to Chillingworth, and Pearl to Dimmesdale.

Hester-

Chillingworth-
a symbol of all evil and is now
noticing it in himself (not sure he likes it)
Pearl-a symbol of all evil and is now
noticing it in himself (not sure he likes it)
a symbol of purity (true)
Dimmesdale-
society's view of purity (a lie however)
Pearl is a true symbol of purity but is looked at as a devil-child. Dimmesdale is a symbol of lie but is looked at as pure. Here is just another example of good vs. evil and balance.
