The number 7 is a significant symbol in the Scarlet Letter. First, look to the age of Pearl. She is seven years old, and because the story begins with Pearl as a newborn, we know as the reader that this story is a total length of seven years. Therefore, it took seven years for the full sin of the adulterous act to be pronounced to society. The significance of this revelation taking seven years is the significance of seven itself; the Creation story in Genesis took seven days for God to create the world (including a rest day). Therefore, just as it took seven days to create something great, it took seven years to reveal something great. The story ending with a prayer (On a field, sable, the letter A, gules) indicates that a biblical reference is an entirely acceptable interpretation of the number 7.
