dialect journal 44, pg. 213

"Misstress Hibbons says my father is the Prince of Air."

The Prince of Air  said to be the Devil, who is a spirit making people disobedient to God. It also is said to represent UFOs and Aliens. Being disobedient to god was very frowned upon in Puritan society. And UFOs and aliens would mean the supernautural, which is also very frowned upon in puritan society. Misstress Hibbons saying that pearls father is the "Prince of Air" is mean that whomever Pearls father is is disobeying god, by having a baby with a women he is not married too.

  1. Polly, don't take this the wrong way, but this journal makes me wonder if you're on drugs.
