PERIOD 1: The Scarlet Letter ch. 1-8 passage & analysis

For this post, I'd like you to select a passage from chapters 1-8 that you find particularly interesting and/or important. Think especially about passages that connect with character development.

Begin the post with the passage and citation
Then analyze the heck out of it!

Things to consider (you don't need to answer all of these questions...just stuff to get you thinking):

What is its overall meaning? What's the significance of some of the words/phrases within the passage? Is there anything symbolic? Anything stylistically interesting? What does it reveal about plot, conflict, characters? Is there any possible symbolism? Any connections with things that have already happened?

Do NOT analyze a passage that has already been done! Feel free, though, to respond to any of your peers' ideas.
