Heartwarming / The Scarlet Letter

• Though Pearl is a product of her sin, Hester loves her regardless and does her best to raise her.
• Although she turns away a functionally happy life by living with the now married Pearl and Hester's grandchild, Hester, for mysterious reasons, returns near the community that had spurned her. She becomes a mother figure for sinners going through rough times, thus planting the seeds of positive change in the Puritan community.
