Pg 200
‘Be quiet, Pearl! Thou understandest not these things, said her mother.’
Hester quiets Pearl and tells her not to acknowledge Dimmesdade because she still believes she needs to keep their love secret in order to preserve it. This logic is the same that lead her to lying about the sin in the first place. Their love is based on deception. Pearl is really the only one who understands their love because she is unconstrained by the rules of Puritanism.

Pg 134 ‘But before speaking a light….. shall unite all the letter A- marked out in lines of dull red light..’
Dimmesdale thinks he is being haunted when he see the light form into a letter A. Red symbolizes Pearl because she wears that color. This represents their little family. Although, at this point, the A no longer a symbol of evil because Hester through her good deeds has turned the A into something good. Hester has always admitted to her wrongdoing and has become a stronger person because of the A.

Pg 125 ‘I, your pastern, whom you all reverence….. he loaded for his miserable self.’
Dimmesdale is not able to make a confession that would release him from his inner torment because he is too weak. He tries a pathetic public confession saying that he sinned and did a terrible thing, but his congregation doesn’t think he could do anything that bad and find him in even higher esteem because of that.

"And there stood the minister, with his hand over his heart; and Hester Prynne, with the embroidered letter glimmering on her bosom and little Pearl, herself as a symbol, and the connecting link between the two...is if it were the light that is to reveal all secrets, and the daybreak that shall unite all who belong to one another."

Pg. 119 ‘No! not to thee! …. Not to an earthly physician.’ Dimmesdale knew he would never confess to a physician; only to the Physician(God) of the soul because it was a soul disease. He felt that Chillingworth was meddling in something that should happened between him and God. Chillingworth said they would be friends again. A theme Hawthorne repeatedly states was that nobody should have the right to look into another person's mind or soul.

1. Everything but god keeps them alive. He is saying humans are nothing special./If God drops a person, he/she would plummet into hell and nothing could stop them like a rock falling through a spider's web. If God is upset with a person then he will destroy the person, and all that would be left is dust like when the wheat goes through a threshing machine and all that is left on the floor is the chaff./
2. The Earth, Sun, animals, air, wind, and water don't serve the sinner./A storm with thunder and black clouds shows God's anger. Anger is represented by darkness and being out of control, which is like a storm.
3. Change your heart and praise God and nothing else./The bow wants to release the arrow at your heart, and it would make the bow happy to do that.The reason it is scary is that you have an arrow pointed at your heart.
4. There is no reason someone is not in Hell ever and that is where you are going. God holds you up over Hell./No one wants to be in Hell and be worried all the time.
5. Short term: you try to be better than you were, Long term: You get used to it and either become lax or keep believing.

Shakespeare's take on God is that one of his attribute is that he is merciful. That this mercy is dropped from heaven gently and absorbed by the kings, and they rule justly. Edward's sermon paints God as merciless as he can drop the hammer at any time although he is merciful because God chooses not to.
