Scarlet Letter 6

Sun

Sun and the idea of light are a big motif in this book. Light is like true things, goodness, god and purity, which goes back again to the rose bush and the purity it and nature has. They also refer to golden light which is interesting again because Hester uses a golden thread when sewing on her A which also ties into the fact that gold is pure, once again like the rose bush and being part of nature and being pure.

  1. The class has seemed to forget about the rose bush. Keep these ideas and form connections throughout the rest of the book. How does light reappear in future chapters (be specific), and what about the rose bush?
