Imagery + Symbolism in the Scarlet Letter
Summary: Imagery and symbolism are used throughout The Scarlet Letter to define and develop characters, set scene and tone, and to aid in plot progression. The most prevalent symbol that develops Hester's character is the letter `A'. The reader is introduced to the `A' in the very beginning of the book when Hester walks out of the prison.
