"The path strangled onward into the mystery of the primeval
forest"(179). This sentence displays just one of the multiple
personalities that the forest symbolizes in The Scarlet Letter written by
Nathaniel Hawthorn. In the Scarlet Letter the forest symbolizes much
more than one might imagine. Each character brings out a
different side of the forest, however the forest also brings out a
different side in each character. For some the forest may be a place of
sinister thoughts and wrong doing, but for others it is a place of
happiness and freedom.


The first encounter with the forest we have symbolizes just some of
the evil that lingers within the darkness of the forest. As Hester and
Pearl are leaving governor Bellinghams estate they are confronted by
mistress Hibbins who explains that the witches are meeting in the forest,
and she then invites Hester to become more deeply involved with her evil
ways. "Wilt thou go with us tonight"(113) asked mistress Hibbins, yet
Hester refused to sign her name in the black mans book on that night. She
explains that the only reason she does not sign is because Pearl is still
in her life. At this time the forest itself is a open door to another
world, a wicked world that would take her away from her present situation,
but that is not the only door that the forest holds.


The forest is an open door to love and freedom for both Hester and
Dimmesdale. It is a place where the letter on their bodies can no longer
have an effect on them if they choose. A world ruled by nature and
governed by natural law as opposed to the artificial strict community with
its man made puritan laws. Its as if the forest represents a key to the
shackles the Hester and Dimmesdale have been forced to wear, all that they
have to do is unlock it. Although if they choose not to unlock them, they
begin to dwell on the things that they have done to deserve the shackles.
In this the forest represents a thing of truth, weather it be good or bad.


In pearls eyes the forest has a totally different concept. To
Pearl the forest is like a best friend. It treats her as if she were one
of its own. The animals do not runaway at her ever move, instead they come
to her with open arms. The light is chasing her no matter where she goes.
She is able to run and play freely to her innocent hearts content. She can
do that because her heart is innocent and the forest recognizes that.


When reading this book you can look deeper into the forest and find
more powerful symbols inside. The sunlight is one of the most obvious of
them all. While Pearl plays in the forest the sunlight seems to find her
no matter where she is standing. At the same time it will not cast a
single glimmer of light onto Hester, until she removes her scarlet letter.
Then at that point the sun breaks through the dense trees and gazes upon
her. The light is a symbol of purity and truth. It does not shine on
Hester when she has the letter because the letter itself is not pure, even
though everything underneath the letter has become pure through the years.


The Brooke that runs through the forest is also full of symbolism.
At one point of the story the Brooke represents a wall. "Then strange
child, why does thou not come to me?"(205) asks Hester. She explains that
she will not cross the Brooke because she Hester is not wearing her letter.
To Dimmesdale the Brooke then becomes a boundary between two worlds, a
world of peace and freedom and a world of lies and guilt. The Brooke is
also known to symbolize one more thing throughout the entire story. It is
often suggestive that the Brooke often represents pearl. One reason is
because the Brooke has an unknown source, Pearl also has an unknown source,
meaning that most people don't know where the Brooke or Pearl came from.
One more similarity between the two is that the Brooke is woven trough a
dark and often evil forest, yet the water does not stop traveling. Pearl
is in the exact same situation. Throughout her hole life she has been
unwillingly woven into the evil and sorrow the her mother deals with. So
just as the Brooke she keeps on going.


As you have seen there is a fountain of symbolism in the Scarlet
Letter. The forest is one of the most symbolized objects in the entire
story. It is one thing that can bring joy, sorrow, freedom, and evil to
your life, but most of all the forest brings you truth. Once you walk into
the forest lies no longer exist. This is show in every example given, that
the truth comes out in the forest no matter what. Maybe that is why these
characters go there, because it is the only place truth exists.

城市的环境需要我们共同维护，但只有一个人的力量是完全不够的。我们要保护好城市的一草一木，因为城市是属于大家的，我们都要尽到自己应尽的责任。
大树能帮我们制造氧气，造福全人类，美化城市。我们要保护好大树，大树是我们的朋友。我们不能把它当做敌人。多少次砍伐树木导致的悲剧发生的在我们的身边。这难道还不能引起人类的重视吗？当人们砍伐树木的时候，为什吗不去想想自己着吗做的后果？
当我们在大街上散步时，经常会看见很多垃圾在马路上放着，我们应该感到羞耻。我们人类把美丽的地球搞得如此的乌烟瘴气，把美丽的大街变成了垃圾桶。
近年来，地震，洪水数量有所增多。这是人类遭到大自然的报复了，人类把大自然惹火了，自然界也会报复了。
虽然随着社会的发展，人类的环保意识有所增加，但是还不够。随着禁塑令的产生，白色垃圾污染明显减少。但是使用环保袋的人数却不多，环保袋虽然贵了点，但是可以重复利用。人们可能认为塑料袋比较方便，可是它不可回收。烧了后会排放毒气，危害人类的生存。可能还会影响气候变暖，为了我们的子孙，我们应该选择更适合人类的方法。
随着私家车的增多，尾气排放也对人类造成了很大的威胁。虽然私家车方便，但是现在公共交通已经很方便了，并且很多城市已经使用天然气公交车了，不会排放有毒尾气。所以现在人们倡导乘坐公共交通出行。不少城市地铁为人类提供了便利。
据有关统计，中国大熊猫栖息地已经急速下降，因为森林面积被人类大量的利用，我国北方的沙尘暴数量也大幅度增多。
有些人虽然没有砍伐树木，但是大量挥霍财产，把自己的钱财给用的一干二净，我们需要节制地使用自己的钱，做点对自己和国家的有益的事情啊！
保护大自然，需要每个人的配合；保护环境，从我做起。
