Journal Entry as a Scarlet Letter Character
It was nearly time for my public humiliation on the scaffold. The reason why I am
sentence to public humiliation in the first place is, because I was involved in adultery.
Arthur Dimmesdale was involved in adultery as well, but on one else knows but
Dimmesdale and me. While standing on the scaffold with Pearl in my hands I noticed a
man that turned out to be my husband. After the public humiliation on the scaffold was
over me husband told me that he changed his name to Roger Chillingworth. Also he told
me that he was not angry towards me for my sin; expect I did not want to tell him who
was the man that caused this to me. He said that who ever did it should stand next to me
on the scaffold. Then that’s when I had to back through the prison door, Pearl started to
cry lately she has been in pain, Chillingworth calms Pearl and I was afraid to talk about
Dimmesdale if I did it would be the ruin of my soul. I could tell that Chillingworth
wanted revenge and was eager to have revenge.
