"It was strange, the way in which Pearl stood, looking so steadfastly at them through the dim medium of the forest-gloom; herself, meanwhile, all glorified with a ray of sunshine..." (181)
Pearl is standing on the side that the sun is shining down on where as Hester and Dimmesdale are standing on the side where it is dark and shadowy. This is because Hester and Dimmesdale have a secret that they are hiding from everybody, and Pearl is pure and has no secrets.
