Dialectical Journal 47

Revealing Dimmesdale’s sin (PG 116)

And at the end of the book when he finally reveals his secret and doesn’t have to grow the dark flabby leaves on his tombstone, he is free to go to heaven. He doesn’t have to end up like the man/men who take secrets to their grave with them. And now that he had done what is right by Hester and so he thinks Pearl, he believes it is ok to let go. When really by him revealing himself, it tore Hester and pearl apart and Pearl went with nature where she belonged, and in the end Hester ended up alone. What she had feared from the beginning I believe.
