The Metamorphosis of Dimmesdale Life is unpredictable, and through trial and error humanity learns how to respond to conflict and learns to take advantage of mistakes. The Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is a character who changes and gains knowledge from the trials he faces, but first he must go through physical, spiritual, and emotional agony. In the midst of all the chaos, the young theologian becomes tainted by evil but fortunately his character evolves from fragile to powerful, and the transformation Dimmesdale undergoes contributes to the climax of the plot. Every human has sinned, but Dimmesdale's evil deeds led him to live a double life. life: one as a devoted minister and another as the “greatest sinner.” Meanwhile Hester was on trial and being punished for her sin, Dimmesdale showed no sign of guilt and did not have the courage to stand by her side and take full responsibility for his actions. Not only did Dimmesdale fail as a lover, he also failed as a father by disowning Pearl and allowing her to live as an outcast. The citizens considered the minister a saint, but they did not know that he had disobeyed the eighth commandment of Exodus 20:16, hiding the truth from his church. Dimmesdale became a liar. Furthermore, in chapter twenty Dimmesdale confesses all the evil thoughts that wander in his mind that his flesh desires to do. He even states how he used his eloquence to manipulate the youngest female member into attending church. As a result of all the evil deeds, the minister seems to be drifting away from his relationship with God and is confused. Dimmesdale gets lost and despairs, habitually questions life and his identity but, ironically, the famous theologian finds no concrete answers to that... medium of paper... despite what they thought. Dimmesdale's confession would demonstrate that he is a humble and honest man, a man who ratifies his past mistakes and carries out his duty as a minister, father, husband and son of God. Furthermore, Dimmesdale has the ability to free himself from bondage of Chillingworth instead of enduring further psychological torture of Chillingworth. The temptations faced by the minister would give him the strength to overcome his fears and become a godly man. Like all humans, Dimmesdale had to pay the consequences of his evil actions, but he would later learn from his mistakes and go from fragile to powerful. , and his strength would almost transform him into a new person. Dimmesdale may have died early, but at least he was comfortable with himself because he had not died a coward but had been honest with God, himself, his family and the people of the country..
