Dimmesdale's Terrors
Nathaniel Hawthorne created a vary disturbing character in Dimmesdale when he wrote The Scarlet Letter. I found myself challenged with how much I wanted to show and I felt it best to do it in a reflection of unseen, seen, paranoid delusions and remembrances that haunt a guilt-stricken priest.
Although the story is not as outrageous as when first written, the ideas are way ahead of their time, in terms of religion, humaneness and quality of life.
