Hawthorne?s main device for communicating his message in The Scarlet Letter is figurative language that make  the story flew strongly and has a highly stylized symbolic fable.The tight structure and figurative language of the novel  is like walking in to many-sided of mirrors where we see every fact in unending succession of relation to every other fact. In other side, this writing can be used to   broader knowledge about stylistics that it is reliable or recommended strategy in teaching linguistics and literature.
