  • Pearl-  “But she names the infant “Pearl,” as being of great price, - purchased with all she had, -purchased with all she had,-her mother’s only treasure!” page 81
  • Scarlet Letter- Thus the young and pure would be taught to look at her, with the scarlet letter flaming on her breast,—at her, the child of honorable parents,—at her, the mother of a babe, that would hereafter be a woman, —at her, who had once been innocent, —as the figure, the body, the reality of sin.” Page 73
  • The black man - How he haunts this forest, and carries a book with him
    a big, heavy book, with iron clasps; and how this ugly
    Black Man offers his book and an iron pen to everybody
    that meets him here among the trees; and they are to write their names with their own blood; and then he sets hismark on their bosoms. - page 169

  • Nature- She thought of the dim forest, with its little dell of solitude, and love, and anguish, and the mossy tree-trunk, where, sitting hand in hand, they had mingled their sad and passionate talk with the melancholy murmur of the brook. How deeply they had known each other then! And was this the man? She hardly knew him now! - page 214
  • Supernatural- “It had the affect of a spell, taking her out of the ordinary relations with humanity and enclosing her in a sphere by herself.” -page 51

  • The forest- in the book, the forest represents freedom, solitude, and thought. Hester and Dimmesdale use the forest to free themselves from society, and the chains that come with living in the town. This demonstrates the key aspects of romanticism.
  • Another specific example of romanticism from the book is when the family saw the A in the sky. This was a supernatural event; it represents the key ideas of romanticism and of the novel.
