Scaffold, Pearl & Hester.

The scaffold is symbolic of redemption and judgment. The entirety of Chapter 3, 'The Recognition,' illustrates the symbolism of the scaffold. Hester is sentenced to stand atop the scaffold for three hours to stand before God to receive their just judgment; "'she will be a living sermon against sin'" . At the end, Dimmesdale is able to gain the strength and courage to finally confess his sin to the masses. "'Stand any here that question God's judgement on a sinner? Behold! Behold a dreadful witness of it!'". In 'The Minister's Vigil,' when all three of them, Hester, Pearl and Dimmesdale, were standing there atop the scaffold, Pearl asks Dimmesdale when they will stand there together and he replies that they will on the day of judgement , thus they will all be judged when they stand on the scaffold together.
