In "To a Poor Old Woman," how does the paper bag full of plums act as a symbol? It represents the envy that the speaker, who has

nothing, feels upon seeing the old woman who has so much, which develops the poem's tense mood. It represents the happiness and fulfillment that, despite her age and her poverty, is still available to the woman, which helps give the poem a comforting mood. It represents the generosity and kindness of the speaker, who has given the bag of plums to the old woman, which conveys the poem's sweet mood. It represents the life of abundance and security that the woman wishes for, but cannot obtain, which helps create the poem's mood of despair.

The symbol of Hester's sin, recognizes in her mother's lack of response to her questions that Dimmesdale will not be like her mother; he will not, as Hawthorne urges in the final chapter and as Hester is, "be true" and acknowledge Hester and their child in public.
