Caught In The act

What a shame. Dimmesdale our priest caught in the forest making love to that harlot. Dimmesdale tells us we shall not sin but he he the one sinning. Should we listen to him? Many people look up to Dimmesdale including me, he always does right but not this time. Could Dimmesdale be the one who has sinned with Hester to create

her baby? This means we have been listening to a man thatsa man of his words and doesn’t believe in god’s laws.

Could this have lead to his death. Knowing that he was lieing to all the people that looked up to him and respected him. Dimmesdale was holding in his secrets with Hester for years letting her take all the blame for what they have done.

People on the ships have said that Hester and Dimmesdale was on there way to europe with there child Pearl. People have heard that Hester was so happy about leaving with hester that she teared off the A off her chest and finally but a smile on her face.

Dimmesdale was probably the black man who no one knew his true identity. He cold have been sinning in this town for years and we wouldn’t know about it.

Written by Edwin Hernandez

“The Hester Prynne story has come to an end, but with a shocking conclusion.”

After several years of debating who the father of the demon child Pearl Prynne is, we have found the answer but in the most shocking of places, Sir Dimmesdale. Priest Dimmesdale approached the scaffold in hand with Hester and their illegitimate child Pearl. After a quick sermon Mr. Dimmesdale told the whole town that he indeed was the father of Pearl. This was followed by a public kiss from Pearl to Dimmesdale. Shortly after this, Dimmesdale was found dead. People are split on how Dimmesdale actually died. Some say that they saw the same mark on his chest that Hester Prynne was wearing which was a scarlet letter “A”. Hester wore this mark because she was convicted of adultery. Also some townspeople say he was killed by the poisonous magic Sir Roger Chillingworth was giving him, as well as the torturing he was doing to him. While some townspeople think this story is true others believe a completely different story as compared to the other story. They claim that they saw no scarlet letter “A” on him; also they say that there was no evidence that Roger Chillingworth did any harm to the priest. These townspeople believe that his death was because of the size of the revelation he had, also they said he could’ve fell victim to a high being like the black man for committing a sin of this level. Whether this story is the truth or not, at least Dimmesdale’s long awaited confession can come to a rest. Hester Prynne and the daughter have not been found ever since this event.
