Nathaniel Hawthrone--- The Scarlet Letter
The Passage on page 116, mid page spoken by Reverend Dimsdale..."They go among their fellow creaters looking pure as a new fallen snow; while their hearts are all speacked and spotted with inqitiy of which they cannot rid themselves." I chose this quote because it was when Dimsdale and Chillingsworth were having this converstaion that i new Dimsdale was sick because of he feels bad for Hester and Pearl. Here he is talking, more justifying why some one would hold a deep secret close to heart. I agree with him in that eventhough most htings should be told just to get htem off your chest to make you feel better, that some thing one cant tell for the sake of others, some one maybe he cares about more then himself, and for that he must live with the pain that comes with the quilt of a reched secret. I highlighted it because i think it is a major turning point in the book. i think that after this conversation with Mr. Dimsdale that Mr. Chillingsworth is suspicious of the fact that maybe.. just maybe..the favorite, nobel, pure as snow reverend is HESTERS LOVER! This then leads to the discovering of the brand upon REverend Dimsdales chest. I wonder if Chillingsworth will take adavantage of this and black mail the reverend or if he will get revenge becasue the yurning of revenge that Chillingsworth has is making him frailier and older then he already was. If chillingsworth reveals DImsdale to the town... will Hester stand up for him and deny Dimsdale as her lover?... Or will She welcome him with open arms when the town casts him off too? Hmmmmmmm.... i also am going to just say that i really liked when pearl grabbed at DImsdales hand and held it with both her tiny hands... almost as if she knew that he was her father without even really knowing.....Bum Bum Bum
