The New Me

Day 1

I have news from one of the crewmen of a ship headed to England that Hester is planning an escape with Pearl and Dimmesdale.  I must try to stop them before it is too late.  The ship leaves in four days and I have already devised a plan.  I told the crewman to let Hester know that I “engage to bring my friend, the gentleman she wots of, aboard with him.  And they need not worry about him, only about herself and Pearl.” (162) When the message was delivered, she glanced over to me from across the marketplace, I smirked back at her.

Day 2

Today Dimmesdale delivered his “most strongest and truthful” (165) sermon yet.  After he was finished he stood upon a scaffold with Hester.  He then fell over and died.

Months Later

I have no motive in this world anymore.  My plot to get revenge on Dimmesdale has failed now that he has passed away.  Now I start to think about all the good things I could have done instead of plotting revenge.  I am too old to start anything new.  I wish I could start a new life.  Hester and Pearl have disappeared; they did not tell me where they went.  They might have taken the ship back to England.  My days are counting down, I can feel it.  I sit in my house most days, lonely and depressed wishing, and hoping that Hester and Pearl will come back so I can apologize.  If they decide to come back one day, I have left all my inheritance for Pearl, as an apology for her and her mother.  Sometimes I pick up a book about becoming a better person http://personalexcellence.co/blog/101-ways-to-be-a-better-person/.  The will of God has told me, that it is time for me to go.
