…Scarlet Letter, a novel written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, contains many characters that all act as symbols of sin. Hester Prynne represents how sin can make one stronger, and Arthur Dimmesdale symbolizes how hidden sins can cause harm. Pearl serves as a reminder of the scarlet letter to her mother, and Roger Chillingworth as an example of how many smaller transgressions can add up to be greater than a single sin.
