Scarlet Letter 13-18

I really find these chapters to be interesting.  The truth finally comes closer to realization and at the same time Hester seems to be healing to a certain extent from her social stigma.  Pearl who is as perceptive as ever really notices the way that the minister holds his hand over his hear and the connection with what Hester told her about the Scarlet Letter.  Hester realizes that she has this obedience to God and his commands, but she has just been a slave in her marriage to Chillingworth, which is something that is significant to do because it is straying away from a puritan belief.  Hester and Dimsdale decide to move away and start off with sort of a clean slate. Hester and Dimsdale both find a lot out about themselves and love.  I am sure that at that point in time they still would have liked to change some aspects of their situation, but it would probably end the same way with those three being together.
