Leaving and going to Europe sounds like a perfect plan for Hester and Dimmesdale. They could have a good family life life this way, and Pearl would be able to grow up with a father. No one in Europe would know about the situation with Hester and Dimmesdale, so they would be able to live without punishment and in Europe. I think that moving to Europe would be the best thing for Pearl and maybe if she knew thy Dimmesdale is her father she wouldn't be so skeptical of him.

I totally agree Miranda. A real family is exactly what Pearl needs to grow up and be successful! Going to Europe is also good for Dimmesdale and Hester! They can get away from her evil husband Chillingsworth! They can get a new start and have a new life together. They could be happy!

While I believe that this is an easy way out of Hester and Dimmesdale living with their sin, it would be the most prosperous and advantageous for their family, and for Pearl. Pearl should not be forced to live with the reputation and stigma that her parents would have in Boston, and would also provide a loving home for her to grow up in. While I think it's very wrong that Hester suffered for years with the punishment for adultery, and Dimmesdale didn't face any public punishment (aside from torturing himself), I think that the repercussions of their crime has lasted long enough. I think it's also a good idea for all three of them to be as far from possible from the retched Mr. Chillingworth, as his intentions are far from pure of heart.

I do believe that Dimmesdale and Hester should move to Europe if that's what they think is best for Pearl. If they are going for selfish reasons then they are no better than when they first committed sin together. Then they have not learned anything. If they are leaving to escape the repercussions of their sin they shouldn't go. If they truly believe they would be happier and it would be a better pace for Pearl to grow up I think its a great idea. I do think they should reveal that Dimmesdale is the father of Pearl to Pearl herself and the town. This way they leave without any secrets.
