In The Scarlet Letter, what are two symbolic images of good and evil that battle over Dimmesdale's soul?

There is
no symbolic image representing images of good and evil battling for 's soul in the novel.  There
are images of evil, for example the prison door, the scaffold, the "A", and the weed
that grows from the heart of the man with secret sin thatdiscusses with Dimmesdale. 


Images dealing with good would be the rosebush, the symbolic significance of
"theof great price" in Pearl, and the naturalof the chapter "A Forest
Walk."  The battle changes as each character is, in some way, untrue to
themselves.
