Entry 16:
"Day after day, she looked fearfully into the child's expanding nature; ever dreading to detect some dark and wild peculiarity, that should correspond with the guiltiness to which she owed her being"
Hester is afraid that Pearl will continue to carry on her guilt. She doesn't want Pearl to be like the A on her bosom for everyone to see, and judge, but not understand. She wants her own consequences of her own sin (Pearl) to have a fresh start regardless of what she actually represents.
