Pearl-1

The real symbolism of a pearl is traditionally perfect and incorruptibility, as well as a symbol of long life and love. It also represents hidden knowledge and femininity. The pearl is related to wisdom and spiritual awareness according to many eastern philosophies. But, Pearl from the Scarlet Letter represents evil and sin, the complete opposite of the traditional symbolism. We can say she represents sin because Pearl is the result of her mother's affair when she committed adultery. Also, Pearl represents evil because stands out from the other children and shows a devilish soul by throwing rocks at the other children and never cooperating with anyone.
