The Scarlet Letter

Books written from and about centuries ago, seem to be the ones that capture my interest most. Reading The Scarlet Letter has me thinking a lot. On behalf of how the book might end, I think the father of Pearl will turn out to be the governor, because he welcomed Hester and Pearl to his house, wanted to purchase something Hester had made, and does not question Pearl about anything, as far as I have read. Hester and Pearl were not accepted or liked by many, but the governor welcomed them to his house without judgement. Maybe it is because he is in love with Hester and Pearl is his daughter, maybe not. That is just my assumption. He had asked Hester to make him something so he can buy from her. He probably asked from Hester so that he can provide her a little money to take care of Pearl. He also probably wanted to see them, so inviting them over was probably the excuse. The reverend saw Pearl and Hester and automatically got to questioning. The governor had not said much to Pearl, probably knowing everything about her whereabouts and how she is on this Earth, also not wanting to make her or her mother uncomfortable. Many assumptions can be made about this story, but this is the one I came up with.
