The irony: 
People should give up her desire to find the kingdom of God= Pearl 
But in this book, readers could see that as a result of Hester submitting to her desire, she receive the Pearl of fear, pain, stress, and doubt (even if Pearl also brings happiness)

This is an ironic allusion because it shows how Pearl, is being compared to salvation and redemption. The Pearl in the Bible verse represents salvation, and it shows how we should value salvation over anything else. So the Scarlet Letter manages to show the importance of Pearl in that way]]> 2017-02-09 02:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kristennielsen/wx9vgs6hq5dk/wish/152664950
