We first completed an exercise identifying how diction in the Scarlet Letter conveys the narrator's perspective of Roger Chillingworth. We then studied how the scene wherein Pearl sees her fleeting reflection in a pool of water complements the theme of reality vs illusion and the similar conflict between a person's moral persona and his true inner self . In this regard ,we noted the role of sunlight imagery.Last, we explored how the author symbolically employs the settings of the forest and the town.
