After Dimmesdale’s death, Hester Prynne, the protagonist of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel “The Scarlet Letter,” portrays a complex spectrum of emotional and behavioral responses. At first, Hester is struck with immense grief and despair. The man to whom she had devoted her life and love has passed away, leaving her with a sense of abandonment and loneliness. Despite her emotional agony, Hester takes it upon herself to organize a proper burial for Dimmesdale, as he had no family or relatives in the town. This act of compassion and duty highlights Hester’s resilient character and her ability to rise above difficult situations. After the burial, she travels to Europe with her daughter.
