Hester Prynn has freedom when her husband leaves; while he is gone she has an affair with Author Dimmesdale. Hester becomes pregnant and the townspeople force her to wear a scarlet ‘A’. Throughout The Scarlet Letter Nathanial Hawthorn deals with sin through symbolism. In The Scarlet Letter the Black man represents the devil.

The Scarlet Letter can easily be seen as an early feminist piece of work. Nathaniel Hawthorne created a story that exemplifies Hester as a strong female character living with her choices, whether they were good or bad, and also as the protagonist. He also presents the daughter of Hester, Pearl, as an intelligent female, especially for her age. He goes on to prove man as imperfect through both the characters of Dimmesdale and of Chillingworth.

Portrayal of Symbols and its Usage in Literature A brilliant story by James Hurst, “The Scarlet Ibis” has many examples of symbols and use of symbolism. The short story is about two brothers, the narrator and his brother, Doodle. Doodle faces critical problems with his health, and the story tells the tale of his struggles of their few years together. The author cleverly uses symbols often to show profundity in their journey. Symbols in literature are where an object or a figure represents an idea

In The Scarlet Letter, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the story of a flawed woman is told in such an explicitly detailed way that it manages to exemplify the individuality of the tale. As author Thomas Hardy states, “A story must be exceptional enough to justify its telling; it must have something more unusual to relate than the ordinary experience of every average man and woman.” The seven years of Hester Prynne's life that The Scarlet Letter reminisces about is such a strange and exquisite story
