“Mother,” said little Pearl, “the sunshine does not love you. It runs away and hides itself, because it is afraid of something on your bosom. . . . It will not flee from me, for I wear nothing on my bosom yet!”

Explanation:

This quote, taken from Chapter XVI, “A Forest Walk:

Pearl is frequently aware of things that others do not see, and here she presciently identifies the scarlet letter on her mother’s bosom with the metaphorical (and in this case also literal) lack of sunshine in her mother’s life.

“Hold thy peace, dear little Pearl!” whispered her mother. “We must not always talk in the market-place of what happens to us in the forest.”

Explanation:

This conversation, which is described in Chapter XXII: It emphasizes the importance of physical settings in the novel and evokes the motif of civilization versus the wilderness.
