I have to say, out of the entire book my favorite chapters
had to be 17 and 18. These chapters are
basically the embodiment of every classic love story. The people of the town do not want them to be
together, but they are going to defy all odds and show their love for each
other. In short Dimmesdale and Hester
have decided to run away together! As
you can tell from the below quote…
“”Alone, Hester!”
“Thou shalt not go alone!” answered she, in a deep whisper.
Then, all was spoken!’ (Page195)
At this point all I could think about was man, this sounds
an awful lot like Romeo and Juliet… hmmm, I don’t think that this is going to
work out very well for anyone in the story.
Seeing that Chillingworth hates Dimmesdale’s guts I seriously doubted
that Dimmesdale could pack all of his things and go anywhere without his
roommate stopping him.
After this in chapter 19, Hester tries to introduce Pearl to
her father and tell her that he will love her like she loves her, but before
she can get Pearl to come and meet him she refuses to come to her. Before Hester even realized it I thought “man
this little girl is so mean, she won’t go to her mom unless she is wearing the
scarlet letter.” This can also be
connected back to the first few chapters when baby Pearl would recognize her
mother’s scarlet letter before her face.
Which I thought was interesting.
Pearl’s littler temper tantrum doesn’t end there, when Dimmesdale is trying
to be nice to her and gives her a kiss on the forehead she runs to the water
and washes it off! Not only this Hester
just goes back to talking to Dimmesdale, please Hester discipline your
child! That is super rude, and if I did
something like that I wouldn’t be leaving my room for a week. Maybe that is why your child is crazy!
Going back to my thoughts from chapters 17 and 18, in
chapter 22 Hester finds out that Chillingworth will be on the trip with them.
Yay! ??? At this point I know there are only 2 chapters left and I’m just
thinking that they will get on this boat and Chillingworth is going to kill all
three of them and throw their bodies overboard and no one will ever know. Thankfully this does not happen! But some even crazier events take place and
it’s literally mind-blowing!
At this point all the feces hits the rotating oscillator. Dimmesdale gives his speech and everyone
loves it, yay wonderful yippe! But where
is the action, oh wait a minute.
Dimmesdale gets Pearl and Hester to join him up on the scaffold, and I am
basically cheering as loud as I can (in my head so my family doesn’t judge me
as we drive home from our Thanksgiving party) I love this little family moment
even if they are going to be judged by every person in the crowd. And I’m thinking that this is going to be
awesome and they will leave on the boat and be in love forever. And now Chillingworth won’t get to “out” them
and he won’t get that satisfaction, because he is evil and makes me mad. Dimmesdale says God brought him there, you
see an A branded into him and then they live happily ever after!!!!
(Ouchie boo boo)
Wait a minute, is there something wrong with that… Oh that’s
right, Dimmesdale basically just drops dead.
You have got to love The Scarlet Letter!..... Or not. (but it was good, I just don't like that he died)
*tear*
Why can't they be a happy family!?!?!?!?!?
*another tear*
so sad... I strongly dislike Nathaniel Hawthorne.
This might be worse than when Dobby died...

I like the voki you made. I also liked the connection you made with Romeo and Juliet. I liked that in the book Dimmesdale, Hester, and Pearl were finally officially united as a family but then Dimmesdale dies.I think Nathaniel Hawthorne is just a trolol.
P.S. I cried harder when Snape died
I was actually really upset when Dimmesdale died, because I knew that Pearl and Hester could never have the complete family, and I personally thought Pearl was starting to love Dimmesdale, but I did not pick up on what she felt about his death. I know personally I would not really know how to feel, because at frist she was really standoffish of him, and then she kissed him and he died? like what.
p.s. I don't know if I cried more when Snape or Dobby died to be honest
I love how you connected Dimmesdale's death to Dobby's death. I also like the RnJ connection. I don't think that there was ever going to be a chance for Dimmesdale and Hester to be happy - not when he let her carry their burden publicly for so many years and he kept his mouth shut.
Lauren Dimmesdale death really got to me. But it wasn't as tragic as when my little Dobby died ( he was so innocent and I liked his voice ) or Snape. Maybe if the Scarlet letter was made into a series of Movies then he had died in the end I would consider his death to be the one of the saddest fictional deaths. By the way I love your voki and I do believe that Hester and Dimmesdale had such a tragic love story just like Romeo and Juliet. But maybe if they both came clean earlier ( Dimmesdale ) together! Then I they probably couldn't of had a sin free happy life.
I love how were all discussing about Harry Potter. Actually, Dobby's death in my eyes was way more sad than Dimmesdale. Dobby was innocent, he didn't deserve to die. He was just protecting his friends. Meanwhile, I wasn't sad or cried over Dimmesdale's death. In my opinion, he caused his own death. He should have told every one his secret. It was eating him alive, and that's what caused him to die.
P.S: Snape dying made me cry for days. He was by far my favorite character.
It wasn't hard to tell that dimmesdale and hester was going to go away together like I understood kind of that part but like everything else i'm not going to lie was a blur like Hester throughout the story was one way but looks are deceiving because she turned and then later finding out that the A instead of standing for sin was strength I mean I guess that was the turning point. but thinking now I love how the ending turned out even if I didn't like the book so much
not to mention i love your volki its a great example i wish i would've done a volki. and i loved the one with the harry potter character lolz. I would've never thought that and like leah said the death of dobby to me brought me to tears when he died in the story i was like well that's bye but it was still amazing like the book honestly speaking the book was boring due to the fact that it was based on like the past but i feel like it was not all to my understanding because of the way Hawthorne wrote the book . I need my English
