In Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter," Reverend Dimmesdale is portrayed as a hypocrite through his public image as a pious minister while secretly engaging in a sinful affair with Hester Prynne. This hypocrisy is evident throughout the novel, particularly through Dimmesdale's internal struggles with guilt and his inability to openly confess his wrongdoing.

Hester Prynne committed adultery with a colonial town's preacher, Dimmesdale. She was convicted and sentenced to wear a scarlet A on her chest for the rest of her days. She also had to stand upon the town's pillory the first day out of jail so everyone would know who she was. Hester also had a child by this adultery escapade, and her name was Pearl. Pearl helped her through with her deals of being an adulteress, but Hester often thought of her as someone else's child. Meanwhile, Dimmesdale is tortered mentally because Hester will not say who she commited adultery with and Dimmesdale will not come out and say it himself. Hester's husband came to her while she was in jail and spoke with her. He made her promise that she would not say that she was his wife, and he changed his name to Robert Chillingworth. During the story, Chillingworth tries to find out who she commited adultery with so he can take revenge. Eventually, Dimmesdale becomes so sick, Chillingworth takes him in and takes care of him. (Chillingworth is the town's doctor) He suspects that the town reverend is the one guilty of this crime, but is careful about what he does about it.

However, Dimmesdale also reveals his crime to the town and falls to the ground, ill. Pearl and Hester rush to see him, and Pearl finally gets to kiss her father.
