I have read many books for school, which were not interesting whatsoever, but the "Scarlet Letter' was the best one yet. It actually had a message in the story, and gave many foreshadows and ironies throughout the novel. My favorite part out of the whole novel would have to be the ending because it tied the whole story up. The ending was not what many people would have thought it would be, but Dimmesdale's death was significant. He died from his wound, the letter A, which was a sign of his guilt and he kept getting sicker and sicker because of that. When he was dying, Pearl kissed his hand, proving that she knew that he was her father all along, but had some doubts about it. Pearl finally got her question answered that had made her so sinister like, the identity of her father.
The ending was kind of a closure for Dimmesdale, since the crowd knew about his affair, his child, and his suffering. Pearl had finally recognized him as her father, Hester and him were allowed to show their affection in public, and he escaped his suffering with the truth.
