The scaffold, the scarlet letter itself, and Pearl are all devices in "The Scarlet Letter" that symbolize sin and its consequences. The scaffold is where public shaming occurs, the scarlet letter is a physical reminder of Hester's sin, and Pearl embodies the product of Hester's sin.
Hester's sin - adultery
Hester prynne was in prison for a few days
The new colony set aside land for a prison and a cemetery in The Scarlet Letter.
The prison in "The Scarlet Letter" is referred to as the "jail" or "gaol" in the novel. It is where Hester Prynne is initially held before her public shaming and serves as a symbol of the strict Puritan society's justice system.
A cemetery is situated immediately outside the door of the prison where Hester is kept in "The Scarlet Letter." It serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of sin and the harsh judgment of society.
In the beginning of the Scarlet Letter Hester is standing on the scaffold (a raised wooden platform) for the public to view for several hours, then she goes back to prison.

The prison door serves as a symbol of the long history of sin and punishment in the town, emphasizing the weight of the past on the present.
