In "The Scarlet Letter," Nathaniel Hawthorne uses vivid imagery to bring settings and characters to life. For example, he describes the scaffold where Hester Prynne stands as a "black flower" of shame against the "gray, weather-beaten, and time-worn scaffold." Additionally, he paints a stark image of the scarlet letter itself, describing it as a "spectral hand" that glows on Hester's bosom.
