The Scarlet Letter: I feel sympathetic
for both Roger Chillingworth and Arthur Dimmesdale. Although, I feel more
sympathetic for Dimmesdale, because Dimmesdale had to suffer a guilt he could
not have gotten rid of. I feel some sympathy towards Killingworth because; he
did lose his wife and promised revenge towards Dimmesdale for taking his wife
away from him. It seems like a painful death to die from drinking and feel
Chillingworth's sorrow for his failures and sorrow. Dimmesdale, on the other
hand, suffered greatly, more of which Chillingworth did. Dimmesdale had a
daughter and had to pretend that it was not his daughter; he had a lover and
could not be seen with her in public. I slowly realized how much Dimmesdale
loved Hester and Pearl, and that is also why I feel sympathetic for him, he
wanted to have a family and could not because Hester is known for her scarlet
A. It is also sad that in the end, Dimmesdale revealed his chest with an A just
like what Hester had on her, and Dimmesdale died leaving both Hester and Pearl
on their own.
