1. After Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale tries to get Hester Prynne to say the name of her baby's father, he is surprised to find that she will not reveal the name. When he says, "Wondrous strength and generosity of a woman's heart" (61), is this a good thing? Does he agree with her decision?
2. The Reverend calls Hester Prynne "Hester." Does this mean that he is on a first name basis with her?
3. The Reverend's words "brought the listeners into one accord of sympathy" (61). Does he sympathize with Hester as well?
