Hester’s World
Dimmesdale just revealed his sin. I was passing by the cursed scaffold and I was surprised to see him shouting and crying upon himself. He asked for me to stand up there with him so I went there with Pearl and both of us stood up with him. Even Pearl asked him to promise us that he will take our hands and we shall all stand on the scaffold the next afternoon. Surprisingly a comet illuminated the whole morning sky with the letter “A”, (the cursed letter). Roger then saw us all standing together. I wonder what he would be thinking at that moment to be seeing us all stand on the scaffold together. I know he would actually be happy as that was what he wanted to see.
Fortunately for me, the whole town has changed from seeing the evil and impurity in me although they still snub me but have some respect for me because I am actually good to the poor and needy. I go around helping the sick also. I personally know that I am not a bad woman it was because of the sin that I committed made them see a different perspective of me. Also, on the other hand Roger is getting more evil and wicked every day. I think maybe I am playing in a role in that. I disgust him. I just want him to leave Dimmesdale alone and let him live his life peacefully. He keeps on bothering the poor man. I do not want Hester involved in our business together. I went to talk to him today as he was gathering some herbs for Arthur as he had taken the responsibility upon himself to heal the Reverend. But now he is torturing the Arthur saying that it is because of Arthur he has turned in to a monster. I actually told him that I am going to eventually reveal his identity to Dimmesdale.
My little angel Pearl keeps on bothering me for this scarlet letter (A) on my bosom. She keeps making fun of it but she does not really know the meaning and I would like for it to be like that. I found Dimmesdale and told him about the secret I had been keeping for Chillingworth. He was shocked and all depressed but I had to courage him. “You wrong yourself in this,” I said gently. “You have deeply and sorely repented. Your sin is left behind you, in the days long past. Is there no reality in the penitence thus sealed and witnessed by good works? And wherefore should it not bring you peace?” I told him that we could wipe the slate clean and start a new life. I was also browsing on the web and I saw a website which helped me http://pinterest.com/lindablott/a-new-life-plan-i-hope/. Dimmesdale, Pearl and I, we are all currently living out of town. The letter now no longer bothers me as it is now removed. Image http:// workingtitle-breanna.blogspot.com
