The quote: "I thank you from my heart, most watchful friend," said the Reverend Mr. Dimmsdale, with a solemn smile. This quote struck me. It struck me because after all these years, and finding out the deception just recently, it's amazing that the Reverend doesn't kill Roger. It would me another sin though. It's a good thing that Mr. Dimmsdale declines Roger's medicine; it's another step towards happiness. (Pg. 234)
The quote: "He should not nod and smile at me, for all that,-the black, grim, ugly-eyed old man!" This event struck me, because Pearl is guarded. She's protective and rude, because the jailer played a part in her mother's conviction. She believes he has no right to nod and smile at her, for he was a part of what her mother is today. If I were Pearl, I would've reacted the same way. (Pg. 239)
