"'Mother,' said little Pearl, 'the sunshine does not love you. It runs away and hides itself, because it is afraid of something on your bosom.'" (Pg. 178)
"No, my little Pearl! Thou must gather thine own sunshine. I have none to give thee!"(Pg. 114)
On page 59, during the first scaffold scene, Hester thinks of confession and guilt while looking down upon her husband, Chillingworth. This scene notably takes place at midday, when the sun is highest in position and brightest in its warm rays. This shows how her shame and self-reproach is at its worst.

On page 39, of the Scarlet Letter, Hester elaborates about " the stalwart soldier of the Niagara frontier—the man of true and simple energy..." (pg, 37) and as he goes on he makes a personified statement relating the soldiers fingers to the touch of the intangible incomprehensible matter to become clear as daylight.

Daylight in the novel represents exposure, subjection, and vulnerability. In the light of the sun, everything is physically seen and nothing can be hidden. That is also applied metaphorically because Dimmesdale and Scarlet cannot escape their guilt in the daybreak. This fabricates more layers and a deeper meaning in the book. Their are countless symbols throughout the book, the scarlet letter 'A' being one of the most obvious, along with less picked up on symbols such as daylight. Its a very critical part in the development of characters and plot and into the illustration of the Puritan community,

J.G. Ravi Kumar writes about the symbolism and themes in The Scarlet Letter. For instance, he noted, "...important themes such as feminism, fortunate fall and the decline of the aristocratic Old World values and the emergence of a new Puritan-democratic consciousness." He goes on to talk about the undeniable truths of a greek tragedy including defiance, destiny, character flaw, suffering, and destruction; all of which the reader encompasses while reading the novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1850. The symbolism of daylight shows exposure of sins and one's inability to hide or tuck them away. During the noontide, nobody's sin are kept a concealed secret.
