from The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorn

Reverend Dimmesdale, how have you grappled with the weight of your secret sin while maintaining your role as a spiritual leader?
In your moments of solitude, what reflections do you have on the nature of sin and the possibility of forgiveness?
How do you reconcile the expectations of your Puritanical society with your own internal moral compass and desires?
Arthur, if you had the opportunity to advise someone else who is carrying a burden similar to yours, what guidance would you offer?
Looking back, how do you think your experiences have shaped your understanding of truth, both personally and in the context of your community?
