Oh my God! I've made it this far! My Brain hurst! Hurts!
Chapter 17...
Hester tells Dimmesdale that Roger Chillingworth was her husband and he flips out. He is so angry with her and gives her the 'blackest and fiercest frown she had ever encountered.' He says, "Woman, woman, thou art accountable for this! I cannot forgive thee!"
At this point, two things happen: Dimmesdale feels his years of internal agony have been in vain, and turns all hate for himself toward Hester. He doesn't hate himself, at least for that reason, as much anymore. The 2nd is that Hester begins to feel the internal anguish Dimmesdale has lived with. She begins to hate herself for letting this go on.
