How does the author suggest that dimmesdale actually wants his guilt to be discovered? a. by comparing him to hester prynne b. by describing the weather as unpleasant c. by having him climb the scaffold and cry out d. by removing all consequences for his behavior

Correct answer is C. The major theme on "the scarlet letter" is social shaming a stigmatizing for both main protagonist. First, for Hester that live it in public and pay for her sin on the spotlight, and for Dimmesdale that live it privately, only for himself and later eaten by the guilt of his silence.  Tormented by his feeling of remorse, The author suggests how Dimmesdale remorse and thoughts make him reveal his chest with a mark similar to the letter A, that was marked on Hester’s chest for the sin she committed. So, he goes to the square where Hester was rebuffed years sooner. Climbing the framework, he concedes his blame yet can't discover the bravery to do as such freely. Hester, stunned by Dimmesdale's weakening, chooses to get a discharge from her pledge of quiet to her significant other. Following quite a while, Hester comes back to her house and continues wearing the red letter. When she passes on, she is covered close to the grave of Dimmesdale, and they share a basic slate gravestone engraved with a crest depicted as: "On a field, sable, the letter A, gules" ("On a field, dark, the letter A, red").
