Gold thread (pg 55)
They use gold because it is pure like Hester, Pearl and the rose bush. The Rose bush is pure because through all the destruction of the humans and through the mass destruction of the surrounding nature, it still stands strong. Which is a lot like Hester, even through all the harsh things said about her and through all the ridicule she still stands strong. Pearl is like the gold thread because it is what holds the A onto her mothers chest, just like she is the result of the sin of adultery, she is what holds the sin to Hester.
