I really wish I started this whole blogging thing earlier...
The Interior of a Heart
This is a good title for this chapter. This is when Dimmesdale gets on the scaffold late at night and confesses, to nobody, his adultery. These symbolize each other greatly because Dimmesdale is the kind of person who bottles-up his emotions, rather than show them for all to see. 'On the inside', he really wants to confess his sin, and this is the way he is able to do it. He is taking baby steps; admitting to nobody. We also know that it is pitch-black outside. It was so dark that Revrand Wilson is unable to see him. This is the interior: the pitch-blackness. Dimmesdale is living in the dark until he his sin is confessed.
