Chapter 19

" It was with a feeling which neither of them had ever before experienced, that they sat and watched Pearl's slow advance..." I actually like this opening of the third paragraph in chapter nineteen because both Hester and Dimmsdale feel a connection, emotionally, as they see their daughter, their offspring, so full of light and Pearl is careless of what is going on the world. "In her was visible the tie that united them." Pearl, reminds the two lovers how they had felt before they had realized what had been done. She shows the love these two distinct people have for one other. Almost like Catherine and Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, haha x
