The Scarlet Letter, Chapters 4 - 6

Chapter Four is entitled "The Interview" and it at least caught my attention a bit more at the beginning than the first chapter did. It starts with Hester, who has returned to her jail cell, acting strangely. To me, it sounds as though she's having a panic attack or something. The jailer, Master Brackett, is worried - though I really can't figure why he cares if he thinks that she's some finagling adultress - and decides to call on a doctor. Naturally, this doctor happens to be Hester's husband, Chillingworth.
He prepares a medicine for the baby and asks Hester to administer it for him so that he doesn't startle the baby and create more cause for concern. She doesn't oblige at first. In fact, according to the book, she "repelled the offered medicine, at the same time gazing with strongly marked apprehension into his face". Hester still doesn't trust him, which I found to be ironic considering their situation. Chillingworth ends up giving the baby the draught. Hester and Chillingworth get into an argument, and she still won't reveal the name of her fellow sinner. She goes a slight step further, even, by swearing to keep it a secret.
The first thing that happens in chapter five is that Hester is released from chapter five along with some more wordy descriptions and whatnot. She moves into a house outside of town and starts an embroidery business. Her work is of high quality and it becomes popular among the townspeople. Even the Governor and ministers wear items created by her hand. I felt like this was supposed to be another representation of the people's hypocrisy and shallow nature. However, I suppose they can be credited for at least being thorough in that they would not allow chaste brides to wear Hester's handiwork. Hypocritical, but at least they saw it through.
Despite her praised work, Hester still feels like an outcast, which is rightly so, I suppose. The townspeople clearly still think rather lowly of her even though they appreciate her work. It is even mentions that clergymen stop her in the street to scold her, an action which always drew a crowd and embarrassed Hester.
The short paragraph in the middle of page 83 interested me. It says that occasionally and perhaps when she is least expecting it, she feels as though somebody is watching her, but it makes her feel strangely comfortable unlike the judgmental eyes of the townsfolk. However, the feeling passes and is replaced with an even more profound throb of pain when it does. Is this foreshadowing?
I can't remember if we already knew that the baby's name is Pearl, but chapter six immediately lets us know that it is anyway. Actually, chapter six is pretty much solely about Pearl. We learn everything from her name origin, ("she was purchased at a great price") to her beauty and strong sense of passion even at her young age. Like her mother, Pearl is outcasted by the local children, who seem to be aware that something is off about their little family even if they don't know what it is. The chapter ends with Pearl asking her mother about the scarlet letter that she is always wearing, but, to my understanding, Hester is unable to give an actual answer.
