"...this brook is the boundary between two worlds..." (182)
Hester and Pearl have had this world that they have had since the very beginning. Where before Pearl was born Hester and Dimmesdale had a world that they had created, and now Hester wants to bring Pearl into the world that Hester and Dimmesdale have created. The side of the brook that Pearl is on right now is the side of the world that Pearl grew up with, and if she crosses over she is saying yes to the world that Hester and Dimmesdale created.
