INT. SCENE - DESCRIPTION

Arthur Dimmesdale spent time with Roger Chillingsworth daily in his study and the laboratory. One afternoon while they were in the laboratory Dimmesdale was relaxing by an open window, looking out towards the graveyard while old man Chillingsworth examined plants. They then heard a child’s laughter from the burial ground and Dimmesdale spotted Hester Prynne and Pearl walking in the gravesite. Chillingsworth approaches the window. Pearl was skipping through until she stopped at a broad flat tomb stone and started to dance on it despite her mother’s command not to. Pearl then started to gather prickly burrs from a near by tree and arranged them in the shape of the scarlet letter and Hester made no move to remove them.

CHILLINGSWORTH

“There is no regard for authority with that child,” he remarked. “Just the other day I saw her spit water into the Governor’s face near the cattle trough. What on Earth is she? Is she the devil herself? Does she have any affection for others?”

DIMMESDALE

“None that I can see here,” answered Dimmesdale almost speaking to himself. “Whether she is capable of being a good solid human being, I do not know.”

Hearing voices Pearl looked up to see the two men watching her and gave a knowing mischievous smile, and threw one of her Seeing what caught Pearl’s attention Hester looks up to see the men looking down on them, they all stare at each other in silence, until Pearl stated to shout.

PEARL

“Come away, Mother! Come away or the old black man will catch you! He already has the minister in his grasp. Come away mother, or he get you to! But he will never be able to catch little Pearl!”

SHOT - DESCRIPTION

Pearl pulled her mother away singing and dancing as she went, with no regard to the deceased that lay buried around her.

CHILLINGSWORTH

“Their goes an interesting women,” remarked Chillingsworth. “She shows non of the sinfulness that you might think would be so openly obvious. Do you think she is not miserable with that scarlet letter on her chest?”

DIMMESDALE

“I do believe that could be true,” answered the minister. “But I can not speak for Hester. I did see a look of pain in her eyes, which I would have rather not seen. I do agree that it is better for the sufferer to be free to show their pain rather then covering it all up and burying it deep inside the heart.”
