Two specific ways in which Dimmesdale foils Hester are:

  • Where she is strong, he is weak
  • Where she is shamed publicly - he is honored publicly

What is Puritanism?

This refers to the religious sect that rebelled against the English Monarchy and broke out to become independent and had certain beliefs that were aligned with that of Christ.

Hence, we can see that based on the beliefs of Hawthorne, he is said to be a transcendentalist and as such does not believe in the Puritan ways of self-denial and predestination.
