DJ - #24



"And there stood the minister, with his hand over his heart; and Hester Prynne, with the embroidered letter glimmering on her bosom and little Pearl, herself as a symbol, and the connecting link between the two...is if it were the light that is to reveal all secrets, and the daybreak that shall unite all who belong to one another."

Dimmesdale and Hester with A's and scarlet Pearl, the embodiment of the color and letter, are finnaly standing together as a familly. The sad part is that no one is there to see them. They also happen to be in the light from a meteor, which is red, and light which equals good, so by the transitive property their family equals good as long as Dimmesdale comes out about it.

    Yes, and here we might have insight into Dimmesdale real sin: he has neglected his family (Pearl and Hester). The three are connected: red A on Hester, hand over A on Dimmesdale, Pearl being called a symbol, and a red metaphoric "A" above them. Could the "A" stand for ACKNOWLEDGE?
