These pictures both represent who Hester Prynne . The first picture is that of a candle light in the darkness. It represents how she speculates on human nature, social organizations, and larger moral questions of how people are in the right or in the wrong.

The second one is a diamond enclosed in a pile of dirty rocks .It is a repersentation of when the towns women were staring at her on the platform and envying Hester's beauty.
