and Dimmesdale: “…but Hester is not the protagonist‚ the chief actor and the tragedy of The Scarlet Letter is not her tragedy but Arthur’s. He is the persecuted one‚ the tempted one. He was whom the sorrows of death encompassed…his public confession is one of the noblest climaxes of tragic literature.” This quote by Stewart contradicts the ideas that I think were contained in The Scarlet Letter‚ by Nathaniel Hawthorne‚ and therefore I do not agree with this quote. In my opinion‚ Dimmesdale is

"To be fully human is to balance the heart‚ the mind‚ and the spirit.” One could suggest the novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne‚ that one should not violate the sanctity of the human heart.
