In chapter 12, the scene where Chillingsworth sees Dimmesdale up on the scaffold holding Pearl and Hester's hands is the most impressive for me. This is the scene where you find out that Dimmedale is Pearl's father and Chillingsworth finds out in the same moment. This scene impresses me because you and all the characters know all the secrets, except Dimmesdale. He doesn't know yet that Chillingsworth is Hester's husband, but Chillingsworth knows his secret.
One of the most vivid scenes from these chapters to me is when pearl is playing on the beach. As I read that she was skipping and throwing stones at seagulls, and putting fresh seaweed in the shape of the letter A on her chest just as her mother wears. It seems that pearl was having talking with her own being.
The images in these chapters that are most vivid to me are superfluous. First, one image that really spoke to me was when Hester was describing the way Chillingworth appeared now. She describes his new appearance so perfectly as the corrupt and vindictive man he has become. In my mind, I can almost visualize Chillingworth. Another scene that impressed me was the scene where Pearl was on the beach. The author mentions her almost having a sort of conversation with her reflection. This gives the reader a real picture of Pearl's expressions and her disposition. These are just a few of the interestingly visual scenes throughout these chapters
The most imressive vivid image that i think of is when they are on the scaffold in Dimmesdale's vile. When Pearl ask him to stand up there with them in front of everyone, i could see that she was starting to put items together. Another image that i think of is when Pearl is dancing around on the beach. She becomes so alive and flirty! i love that about her. She is just so open about her feelings.
In chapters 9-15, the images that are most vivid to me all involve Pearl. In chapter 12 when Dimmesdale is on the scaffold, the image of little Pearl holding his hand is extremely vivid, as I see like a father holding his daughter's hand. The second image is from chapter 15. Pearl imitating her mother by making the A on her chest with the eel grass creates a very vivid image in my mind. Reading of how she does this with complete innocence both makes me beleive that she is really an innocent child and slightly adds to the aspect of her being evil. By doing this, she is mocking Hester, but to her she is actually just trying to be like her mother. These images help me make a sweeter image of Pearl.
One of the most vivid scenes from these chapters in my opinion is the scene to where Dimmesdale, Hester, and Pearl stand on the scaffold at night and hold hands. It clearly shows that he feels he should show his true self to the outside world, but can't bring himself to "come out of the closet". Another vivid image from these chapter involves the time when Pearl is playing by the tide pools on the beach and puts eelgrass on her chest in the shape of the letter A. It impresses me by making me feel as though Pearl truly understands the meaning of the scarlet letter and wants Hester to know that she is still looked up to by her daughter.
The most vivid scene that I liked was when Pearl asks Dimmesdale to stand on the scaffold with Hester and herself. I like that seen because I think it shows Pearl wanting to get to know him better and wants him to be around more, and I think Hester liked her idea of asking him to show everyone in the town who the father is and how it wouldnt bother him.
The most vivid scene so far in the story is when Dimmesdale locks himself in the closet, and punishes himself by whipping his back. There were spikes his whip causing a very gruesome scene. Dimmesdale was also fasting for many days and holding vigils. He is punishing himself for all of his sin. This also says that Dimmsedale cannot live big secret. The scene is important because Hawthorn wanted the reader to know how far Dimmesdale goes to punish himself.
The next vivid scene is of Dimmsedale, Hester, and Pearl standing on the scaffold holding hands. This sticks out in my mind because you don’t see people standing on top of scaffold everyday. This scene was also ironic because the family was reunited. While they are upon the scaffold, the see a red “A” shaped meteor fly through the sky. The meteor symbolized that Dimmesdale also committed adultery with Hester.
We know that Chillingworth is a doctor and is asked to assist Dimmesdale. The two are living together. Chilliingworth is suspicious of Dimmsedale so one night Chilliingworth unbuttons Dimmesdale’s shirt and discovers an “A” on his chest. Chillingworth now knows Dimmesdale’s secret that he is the father of Pearl. This scene stood out because as soon as Chillingworth makes the discovery, you knew who Pearls father was.
The scene where we come to find that Dimmsdale has a bloody scourge is most vivid to me. To me it really shows how horrible he feels about what he has done. We find out in later chapters that the reason he does this is because he doesnt feel sorry for what he has done,so he punishes himself.
Many scenes in this book can spark a vivid and creative imagination and put it to great pictorial use. The scene that really brought my imagination to life was the scene where Hester, Dimmesdale, and little Pearl are all standing together on the scaffold holding hands in the dark. This is the first time all three of them are really together. It is in a way revealing that Dimmesdale is the father of Pearl, and Chillingworth also comes to find the answer to this great mystery. This vivid image impresses me because it is a big turning point in the story. Dimmesdale's secret is revealed, however, Chillingworth is still unknown to be the husband of Hester. At this point in the story the indirect torture toward Dimmesdale heightens.
I would say the picture that stands out to me the most is when Hester takes off the "A" and Pearl won't leave the opposite side of the brook to come see her. When Hester took it off and called for Pearl, Pearl would not come to her mother because she wasn't wearing the "A" she was so accustomed to seeing. Once Hester put it back on Pearl came to her mother and Dimmesdale
