Chapter 5 stresses the seperation between Hester and the rest of the society. It tells of the children that say things they don't understand (repeating adults) about her.
Hester Pryne makes a living off of her amazing skills with a needle and thread.
Its ironic, the upperclass will hire her to make things but non the less "bite the hand that fed them."
Although Hester Prynne refused to enjoy her work herself, her little girl did reap the benefits, playing in beautiful gowns that were fit for royalty.
Hester sees something in her baby girls eyes, something that excites her but makes her uneasy. She says the only time she's at peace is when shes asleep. I'm not sure what it is shes talking about but it sounds weird.
As Pearl gets older it's a mystery as to how she understands the difference between her and the other children, how she knows there is an upspoken seperation.
