Everyone wants a red rose. The symbolism of a rose in The Scarlet Letter shows up more and more. at the begins of the book when the rose kept popping up and i questioned this, but by the middle of the story i realized that Pearl represents the Red Rose. In the book when asked if where she was born Pearls says she was picked off of a rose bush on a prison door.
Something i did not like about this book is how much focus is around religion. Everything is surrounded by the church, or someone thinks Pearl is possessed, or that someone is into the black arts because they enjoy science. Many things would be more pleasant and less hateful if religion was left out.
It seems to me that in every book we read this summer love kills someone or messes up a life. Like in this book Dimmesdale reveals he is the secret lover and dies and then it just leads to a line of death.Every book is just Death, Death, Death!
