The quote: "At least, they shall say of me," thought this exemplary man, "that I leave no public duty unperformed, nor ill performed." This quote struck me. It struck me, because the Reverend Dimmsdale speaks of when he leaves. Before he leaves, he will have had the election speech and public duties performed, and performed well. He believes the speech is his last statement to that town. (Pg. 225)
The quote: "What is it that haunts and tempts me thus?" cried the minister to himself, at length, pausing in the street and striking his had against his forehead. This quote struck me, because the Reverend has gone partially mad. Here he is, in the middle of the street, talking to himself. He wonders if he went into the forest and signed a contract of some sort. If I had known and seen this scene, I would've asked him, "Are you OK?" (Pg. 230)
