The Scarlet Letter
The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, delivers a powerful novel invoked with symbolism. Centered on Hester, a woman branded with a scarlet “A” as a mark for adultery, much of the Scarlet Letter’s symbolism grows from the cruel, and shameful letter. ... Scarlet Letter also uses natures flowers as a way to symbolize growth in the novel. ... The flowers bloom is a direct symbol for the growth of character in Scarlet Letter. ... The dress of Pearl is almost identical to the brand Hester must endure, with her scarlet brand. ... The brand of sin is reflected in all the aspects of Hester’s life, which show how clothing in Scarlet Letter drastically reflects situation, and character.
