After a few months, Hester is released from prison. She is able to leave Boston, but she chooses not to. She finds an old abandoned cabin on the outskirts of town where she can be free of humiliation. She is completely seperated from evey person in town. She does, however, make a living with a talent of sewing things for townspeople. She tries to make herself feel better by doing charity work, but she is often insulted by the few people she sees, so she cuts it off.
Along with her very lonely life, her daughter, Pearl, is also a huge hassel. She is often referred to as a "demon child," and she is very rude. She mocks Hester continuously and will not cooperate with her. Pearl is about three at this time, and she begins question the scarlet letter. Hester tries to explain to her that her father is the heavenly God himself, but Pearl just closes her out and refuses to beilieve her.
