A New and Different Life
We have finally decided to leave the town and start a new life of our own together. With no distractions in it we sure can have peace and be a happy family. Roger came on later offering Dimmesdale medication which was not needed and so he was dismissed. Today is the big day for the townspeople as it is a national holiday as well as for Dimmesdale as he is about to give his sermon to the townspeople.
The governor is about to take office. Pearl and I decided to go to the market place and witness the occasion. Surprisingly Pearl sees Dimmesdale and does not recognize him. Unfortunately the captain of the ship told us that Chillingworth will be on the ship joining our party. And also the ship needs a doctor. That message got me so pissed off and surprised. Rev. Dimmesdale just started his sermon which I know is expected to be the best of all sermons and one of the most holy from the amount of congregation gathered around the market place and the church. He was not in a good condition. He was very ill and could not even walk straight. I was stunned to see Dimmesdale actually stop at the scaffold requesting that we stand up with him up there. “Hester,” said he, “come hither! Come, my little Pearl!” I immediately accepted it and Pearl was so happy to know that this man was his father. She hugged him and did not even want to let go of him. It was very emotional.
Dimmesdale confessed and even show his self-inflicted (A) mark on his chest. Chillingworth was mad to see the Rev. confessing as he took it as his duty to torture and inflict all type of pain on the man who had a child with his wife. Dimmesdale was extremely ill and as he finished confessing died there on the scaffold. I know he died with a light heart and clear conscience. I was caught up in a really grieving purpose. I consulted the internet and found help from a website http://www.helpguide.org/mental/helping_grieving.htm A year after the tragic incidence evil Chillingworth seeing that he has no purpose in the world dies. He left all his property with Pearl in New England. I disappeared with Pearl and she is now grown up. I returned back to the town and most of the women would come to me for counseling.
