chapters+20-24

__//Symbolism://__ - In the forest when Hester removed the A from her chest, Pearl buried her head in her chest where the A was sewed on, showing that the A is what Pearl is used to seeing her mother wearing.

- the A on Dimmesdale's chest... he had been clutching his chest and finally when shown to the public...some people saw it others did not. Some people believed it others did not.

- Dimmesdale's sermon... he throws his most important sermon into the fire to let it burn and start from scratch- shows how Dimmesdale does not only want to start his sermon over, but to readjust his life and somewhat start fresh.

- Just like how the novel starts, the novel closes with the setting of the market place.

- Chillingworth was smiling at Hester as she was about to board the ship because although Dimmesdale and Hester were planning on escaping and starting over in Europe, the ship called a doctor to be on board with them and it ironically happens to be Chillingworth.

-Dimmesdale's death is ironic because right when he confessed his sin, he immediately died on the scaffold

__//Character Behavior://__ - Dimmesdale walking through town now is looking at everything in a different light. What was once normal to him is seeming off and strange. Dimmesdale's dreariness and sickness has faded as soon as he made plans with Hester to sail to Europe. He is somewhat changed and in a lighter mood.

- Hester was becoming more enthusiastic and happy, ready to leave on the ship to Europe until informed about Chillingworth's presence as a doctor on board. She looks up and sees him smirking at her... showing his evilness.

__//Predictions://__ I think Hester and Dimmesdale will meet in an afterlife together and finally be able to be together.
