The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne chapter 12, narrated by Isaac Birchall On a very foggy night, with very low visibility, he heads to the scaffold where Hester had to stand before the whole town, takes himself up the steps, and stands alone with God. After standing alone for several minutes, he screams out, to release some of the pain that he feels inside. He is afraid that someone could have heard him, and he actually sees the governor poke his head out into the night to investigate; the fog is thankfully too thick to reveal the minister to the town, but for a moment, the minister truly believed that he had given himself away. He then sees Mr Wilson returning home after a long night at the deathbed for the town’s first Governor. The Minister calls out to attract his attention, but Wilson passes without having noticed. Mr Dimmesdale then starts to laugh at the thought of everyone waking the following day to find their minister stood on the place of shame. His laugh is answered however… Pearl runs along giggling with her mother in tow. The Minister calls out again, and this time his cry is heard. The minister invites Hester to join him on the scaffold and the three join Hands. A meteor lights up the sky around them and the minister looks into the sky to see a constellation resembling the letter A. Pearl however notices something else, Roger Chillingworth standing near by, and looking directly at the scaffold to see Hester, Pearl, and the Minister, hand in hand standing on the place of shame.
