- EXAMPLE
- THE ROSEBUSH
- THE SCAFFOLD
- THE LETTER "A"
- Like Hester, the rosebush stands out at a thing of beauty in a sea of gray. What Hester has done is against the expectations of the Puritan town of Boston. Against all odds, the rosebush has flourished against a prison, a symbol of hope against one of despair.
- The scaffold is the scene of Hester's shame, her and Dimmesdale's connection with Pearl as a family (and where Chillingworth realizes this connection), and where their dreams are crushed as Dimmesdale dies after his final sermon and confession.
- While the letter "A" initially stood for adultery, it soon came known to mean "Able" because Hester was humble and helped many with her sewing. A meteor over the town on the night of Governor Winthrop's death came to mean "Angel", but readers know it represented this little family, united for the first time.
