Poor, Poor Dimmsdale

So, Dimmsdale dies! What the heck! I was a little surprised that his life ended so abruptly! I kind of wish that Dimmsdale didn't die because he finally admitted to his secret and I just don't think that thats a good example of somebody telling the truth. I think that people with be deterred from telling the truth because of that. On that situation would be a really good thing to just kind of make people look at it and use it as an example to not committ sins.
