The event: "Would not the people start up in their seats, by a simultaneous impulse, and tear him down out of the pulpit, which he difiled? Not so, indeed!" This event struck me. It struck me because it has the depiction of a church full of ravenous beasts. I love this quote, because Reverend Dimmsdale believes that they should tear him down out of the pulpit because of his adulterous act. The Reverend acts harsh upon himself, and so badly wishes to die. (Pg. 149)
The event: "To the untrue man, the whole universe is false,-it is impalpable,-it shrinks to nothing within his grasp." This event struck me, because Reverend Dimmsdale is stating heaven to the true man, and false universe to the untrue man. It's quite interesting, because the universe would shrink to nothing, in the untrue man's grasp. Therefore, if a man lies, then he has nothing to look forward to. All his options in life have shrunk to nothing within his grasp. (Pg. 151)
