Scarlet Letter D.J. # 5 - Chapter 3: Part 1.

"A writhing horror twisted itself across his features, like a snake gliding swiftly over them" In the bible a snake makes Eve eat the apple and get her and Adam kicked out of Heaven. The snake tempted Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge and told her, "that it would make her more like God and it wouldn't lead to death". She decided to listen and ate the apple from the tree. The snake was the deceiver in the Garden of Eden, and symbolizes evil and persuasion. The snake in the story is related to the man, hints that he's evil.
