The Scarlet Letter Symbolism
The Scarlet Letter is a book of much symbolism. ... In the following essay, I will explore some of the symbolism, which Pearl came to represent throughout the novel.
In The Scarlet Letter, Hester, for her sins, received a scarlet letter, "A" which she had to wear upon her chest. ... Pearl would harass her mother over the scarlet "A" which she wore. ...
One final way in which Pearl symbolized something in the novel was with her association with the scarlet letter. Pearl really was the scarlet letter, because if Pearl had never been born, Hester would have never been found guilty of adultery, and thus never would have had to wear that burden upon her chest.
