Dimmesdale
Let's talk about Dimmesdale. When he tells Hester in the woods he can't forgive her, I just want to smack him. Seriously? Look what she has done for you!! And now you can't forgive her. GRRRR. I think Pearl's judge of Dimmesdale's character is spot on.

Questions/Comments about Scarlet Letter
Here's the place suggested by Terri to put your own questions/comments/words of wisdom about the Scarlet Letter.
Scarlet Letter
Sure seems like this book "reads" faster than Last of Mohicans. I find the character of Chillingsworth quite interesting. Particulary intriguing are the last few paragraphs in chapter 9 about Chillingsworth's changes and his "friendship" with Dimmesdale. What do you all think about Chillingsworth??

Scarlet Letter: The Custom House
After watching the Hawthorne movie last night, I was wondering what you thought of the "Custom House" chapter at the beginning of the Scarlet Letter?? Do you agree with the narrator of the movie??
