"All Shall be well! Do not blacken your fame, and perish in dishonor! I can yet save you! Would you bring infamy on your sacred profession?" (231, Roger Chillingworth). "Ha, tempter! Methinks though art too late! Thy power it not what it was! With God's help I shall escape thee now!" (231, Mr. Dimmesdale). This line from Mr. Dimmesdale directed toward Chillingworth show that he was finally able to break free from Chillingworth's evil grasp and was able to gain the courage to speak of what he had done to the town after seven long years, finally free himself from evil and die in peace, knowing that he had revealed his secret to the town. Hester and Pearl were also idolized and were proud of Dimmesdale decision to finally gain the courage and admit to Puritan society what he had done.
