The first scene is in the very beginning of the book, and presents the main character, Hester Prynne, and explains her supposed crime of Adulterer and gives the story premise and setting. Throughout the novel, we are treated to three individual scaffold scenes, during which there is plenty of exposition about the main characters. I apologize, but that is just how the cookie crumbles.
Spoiler alert, my response is possibly going to be painfully similar to Megan's.
#THE SCARLET LETTER SCAFFOLD MEANING FREE#
I am relieved that now Chillingworth no longer has control over Dimmesdale because he decides to choose the path of truth and free Pearl of his and Hester’s guilt. Dimmesdale should have confessed sooner, to make things easier for Hester and his daughter. Throughout the entire novel, Hester is portrayed as a bad person and sinner because she is the one whose sin was out in the open for everyone to see. This is Dimmesdale’s last chance to confess. But there is a twist, Dimmesdale is dying. The scarlet letter still causes Hester be an outcast of the group, while Dimmesdale is still portrayed as a saint. Hester is the center of attention as usual, because she is still wearing the scarlet letter. In the final scaffold scene, all characters meet at the market place during the day.
All of the books main characters are present in these three scaffold scenes.
The second scaffold scene is in chapter twelve and the last scene is in chapter twenty-three. The first scaffold scene is between chapters one through three. There are three main scaffold scenes throughout the Scarlet Letter.
