Counterclaims:  Dimmesdale

Dimmesdale should confess that he committed a sin to the town’s people because if he gets it off him chest then he will feel less stress and he will get better in health. By him keeping all these things bottled up inside it’s wearing his body down mentally and emotionally. He should also confess because he is not being a true man because he is not stand up and doing his responsibilities.  Dimmesdale is responsible for   pearl.  He also can make everybody else life easier if he confess.

I understand why some may think that Demmesdale should keep it a secret because it will ruin his career and everyone will be mad at him and not respect him as a reverend.  People do not want him to lose his credibility. And  someone of his stature committing something of this crime would almost end his life because he the teachers of  puritan language . this could also affect his health even worst if he prolong it..
