Arthur Dimmsdale – the Scarlet Letter’s Emotional WreckArthur Dimmsdale – the Scarlet Letter’s Emotional WreckReverend Arthur DimmesdaleThe Scarlet Letter’s Emotional WreckThe Novel the Scarlet Letter written by Nathanial Hawthorne shows how characters in the Puritan time period have to live and deal with sins and the effects of sins and how people deal with them in there own personal ways. In the novel Hester Prynne moves to America awaiting her husband, Roger Chillingworth, who never came, so she started a relationship with Reverend Arthur Dimmsdale and had a child out of wedlock named Pearl. While all these characters are fascinating in their own way I believe the most fascinating character is the Reverend Arthur Dimmsdale. He is a very intellectual, spiritual man with many faults. He brings a sense of moral and remorse to the story, and is the easiest character to relate to. He is portrayed as the most vulnerable and weak character of the story. Though he is associated with nobleness and weakness he is a much stronger and powerful character then he is given credit for. He has an unbelievable amount of control in his way of handling his burdens, his demons. He displays great amounts of courage and intellect throughout the story yet is haunted by his mistakes and is incredibly unstable.
Though he will not admit it he is the father of Hester’s child Pearl, though he refuses to admit it. He deals with his guilt by tormenting himself mercilessly, both physically and mentally, until eventually he develops a heart condition. Every time he gets close to allow himself to reveal the secret through his sermons he backs out, which drives him to take his guilt and punishment to new levels, which leads to even more deterioration not only though his mental and spiritual condition but his physical condition as well.
He is a very powerful priest, and because he is so emotional and intelligent his sermons are masterpieces, and very persuasive to his congregation. He is a very powerful speaker and a compassionate leader, and his congregation has the most upright respect for him, and receives deep spiritual guidance from his sermons. He was even chosen to do the Election Day sermon, the most important sermon of the year. Ironically the Election Day sermon was his most powerful, as well as his last sermon he ever preached before he died. The town idolized him, and after his last sermon the town’s fascination with him reached new heights. He tries to portray his sins through his sermons, yet the townspeople don’t pick up on it. The interpret it as a regular life moving sermon whether then any expression of personal guilt.
This is a very good book. It is not a book about the politics of life.

Mormon’s Moral Principles
He says it in a kind words that I am sure the voters will not accept. A great man, who was just born to a family and who, through his service in the church, made the greatest contribution to the state and to the nation, and was raised in a household where the Lord gave him his life. But in a way he’s just a wonderful and wise man. I do not think he was ever a good politician and I don’t think he could have had any character. He’s just a man without redeemer and an honorable life. He says his prayers for the people in the United States, for the world, and for the Church but he is not a candidate for reelection, and I think they won’t accept him.

We agree a lot about the United States politics. That is what makes our church different from most.

I’m a member of the Church at the moment. I don’t believe in any of the political games we discuss and I have not been part of any politics, so I do not see any political games as playing a role in the election of any presidential candidate. We have candidates and candidates both in the White House and in Congress but we have no official role in any of those political games, and we don’t see any role for the President. I have read scripture and I know many of the people I am listening to will say it won’t change the political calculus on which the President is based. We live in a very important time but my feeling is that if there is a question about our country, it could very easily be our politicians or they could have a huge sway in our decision making. Those who have written in the United States or who have been around in the church or in the world, or who share one side of their view, should be allowed to be a part of our political debate.

When we are first introduced to Dimmsdale he is portrayed as a nervous and sensitive individual. In chapter 3 it is stated the Dimmsdale showed “nervous sensibility and a vast power of self restraint.” While at times the reverend seems to have great strength that also turns out to be his biggest flaw. He cannot allow himself to do what his heart is telling him to do, what deep down he knows is right. Dimmsdale tells Hester to tell the world the truth, about how the father of her child is, but Hester refuses and he cannot force himself to confess to
