The Scarlet Letter

Can you name some literary devices in the scarlet letter that come from chapters 5-8?

I have the description of what Pearl is wearing on pg 92 as a symbol, and an allusion on to proverbs 13:24 on pg 83, i need one more. Imagery or anything with an explanation of why it is significant to the novel!
