In this excerpt, it is possible to isolate most of the characteristics of what the German romantics condemn as “allegory.” Hester, as an allegory of sin, loses her “individuality,” and her only role becomes that of directly representing sin. The letter requires to be interpreted, but its comprehension is not intuitive, its meaning is to be taught by the religious authorities. As to the reception of the symbol by the reader/hearer, it also corresponds to the romantic theory of allegory, since the general ideas of “woman’s frailty and sinful passion” constitute the starting point of the preacher’s discourse upon Hester; her individuality only serves to illustrate this general idea.
