1. Why do you think Reverend Dimmesdale is being less harsh to Hester than the other men (Rev. Wilson and the Governor) when he is trying to make her admit the name of the father of her baby?
2. When Mr. Dimmesdale says, "Wondrous strength and generosity of a woman's heart! She will not speak!"(61), does this show that he believes that she is doing a good deed by refusing to speak? Why would he think this?
3. Why does "the responsibility of [Hester's] soul lie greatly with"(59) Mr. Dimmesdale? Do you think they have some preexisting relationship?
