It symbolizes the harshness and gloom of the Puritan society and culture in those days. It foreshadows the tone of what's to come in the story!

AAAAAAA!!!!!! the door isn't symbolism!!!!!! check with your lituarture teacher! i hate it when people make up random symbolism for the scarlet letter, there's alot in the beginning, along with foreshadowing, such as the rose, however, as an english major, i can tell you, that it's not symbloism, so don't worry about it
