1.) When Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale is talking about Hester, he 'brought the listeners into one accord of sympathy' (Hawthorne 61). Does this mean that he sympathizes, at least slightly with Hester?
2.) Does Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale know who the father of the child is?
3.) Are Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale and Hester acquaintances or friends? He does not call her a 'poor sinner' instead of using her name like John Wilson did, but he refers to her just by her first name. Is this a sign of them knowing each other?
