Dimmesdale is haunted by his sin. In chapter eleven, the narrator tells us that "Mr. Dimmesdale was thinking of his grave...[questioning] himself whether the grass would ever grow in it, because an accursed thing must there be buried!" The narrator continues to tell us that the public's response to him was torturous. Dimmesdale valued truth and he felt he was empty of any value, and couldn't stand that his parishioners didn't know that. He had a desire to speak out and tell them but when he tried, they worshipped him all the more thinking he was just being humble.
