    people and the rest of the world. Because of this, a pattern began to form where the west was made up of mainly accusers and the east was made up of those accused of witchcraft (Doc F).

    the scarlet bush “at the threshold” of the prison (Hawthorne 56). The rose bush may represent “Ann[e] Hutchinson,” a woman who challenged early Puritan beliefs of predestination to heaven, and her commitment to her morals (Hawthorne 56). Due to its nearby location to a prison, which criminals that broke laws were sent, it’s possible that the rose bush was revitalized through defiance of Anne Hutchinson and Hester Prynne, and by defiance in general. In addition, it could be represented as the “life

    Nathaniel Hawthorne emphasizes symbolism using elements of nature that represent good vs. evil, sin, and continual rebellion against Puritan society. The basis of Nathaniel's writing style is symbolism and allegory, (where concrete objects usually have a hidden meaning).
