In chapter 12 we see the radically mutation of Dimmesdale. Since the beginning this man appear us like a Saint: he behaves good with everyone, he is pitiful and he helps people. In this chapter all his profile is changed because we discover he is the sinner that with Hester Pryne acted the sin. He isn’t a fair man, but he’s a guilty who decided not to tell the truth and that make his sin worse. When Dimmesdale shout from the scaffold, he wanted to tell everyone his fault because he is becoming mad keeping the secret, he wanted to be free from that fault that plagues him. The fact that anyone notices him is probably a sign of the destiny: he has to live until the death with his fault on, that’s his punishment. Only Hester Pryne and Pearl, the other two symbols of the corruption, see Dimmesdale on the scaffold, and go up next to him.
