Dimmesdale's Doubts
I think it's really sweet and caring that Dimmesdale keeps doubting whether or not Pearl will accept him as a father, and keeps on constantly telling Hester that Pearl might not love him. However, Hester tries and gives him comfort and reassures him that he has nothing to worry about and that Pearl will love him like she loves her. Therefore, Dimmesdale recalls the fact that children aren't a fan of him, but Pearl was the first to actually return some kind of affection back to him. So it just comes to show how Dimmesdale is ready to be there for Pearl and would much rather have her love him like a father, and accept him for who he is because he loves her.

I agree. The simple fact that Dimmesdale is worried about whether Pearl will accept him or not is a sign that he cares about her and wants to be a part of her life.
ReplyDeleteThis shows that Dimmesdale actually cares about Pearl. He actually fears that Pearl will reject him. All he really wants to do is make Pearl love him and see him as a father figure.
