The meeting between Hester and Dimmesdale in chapters 16 and 17 happens in the depth of the forest. This place isn’t casual. This place evocates the ideas of secrecy and mystery. Indeed the topic of the conversation is in this way. They tell about a truth only they know and that no one else has to know. This is way the meeting happens in the wood, away from everyone, in a place apart of social and common uses. In the forest no one would judge them, plus their secret is keeping safer.
