The Scarlet Letter

Just a few thoughts on the rose bush from the first chapter. For the most part we know that the rose bush has been growing there in the prison for a while and that it the first and maybe last thing prisoners could see. So like discussed in class the bush symbolizes hope and could give hope to those in the prison. Not only that my be symbolize Hester and her daughter in some way, maybe it could symbolize Hester's daughter, since rose bushes are beautiful but covered in thrones it could be hinting to some thing that could happen to the daughter.
