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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
