"Once in my life I met the Black Man!" said her mother. "This scarlet letter is his mark!"
For the first time Hester lies about the symbol she has on her bosom. Before she has never felt this necessity. Everyone in the city knows her story and look at her with accusatorial eyes. But Pearl is so young and so naïve. She probably can’t understand the act of the mother, his consequences and especially how it conditioned her life itself. She could try a wrong meaning and teaching from the truth so her mother prefer hides it to her.
