Pearl's Biological Father

The Scarlet Letter is most likely one of the most intriguing and mysterious novels we have read in class. We have found out that Roger Chillingworth is Hester Prynne's husband and a doctor, but not Pearl's father. We have also been introduced to a few other characters. The one I predict to be the father of Pearl is either the governor, or Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale. I feel as if it could be the governor because he is very quiet about everything. It is like he does not want to say a word because he might say one wrong word, revealing his huge secret of being Pearl's father. The governor also purchased a pair of gloves from Hester, maybe to have some money to support Pearl. However, the reason I believe it may be the reverend, is because he is too involved in Hester's life. He was the one who was nervous about questioning Hester of who the father was, probably as a test to see if she would reveal his secret. Reverend Dimmesdale and Governor Bellingham both have reasons to believe that they are guilty of causing Hester Prynne to commit her crime.
