The love between Hester and Dimmesdale wasn’t limited to one night of passion. They are continuing love each other. We can see how Hester still loves Dimmesdale especially in chapter 14. To help the poor man she decides to face the evil Chillingworth. She promised the doctor not to tell anyone his identity but now she is ready to goes over that promise to save the minister from the bad influence of Chillingworth. This time Hester, who uses not to have a lot of force, puts all herself in this “deed”, just for love. And in the end she succeeds to face the doctor (and then she will succeed to alert the minister).
Yes, the book is a love story. This here shows Hester's inner strength.
