Shows How The Sun Scarlet Letter Sunshine
613 words
Nathaniel Hawthorne uses symbolism several times
in the book, The Scarlet Letter. Some examples of
this are when they talk of the scaffold, the
brook, the forest, and the sunshine. The one that
I will discuss is the sunshine. Hawthorne uses
sunshine in the novel to symbolize purity and hope
several times throughout the book. In one scene of
the book, Pearl requests that Hester grab some

think he does mature as the novel progresses.
Although we are only told of a short period of
Holden's life in the book, Holden is very
successful in telling his point of view of the
world, a crazy, and cor...
