Thoughts on "The Minister in a Maze" (Scarlet Letter Chapter 20)...

In this chapter, we see more of Arthur Dimmesdale deteriorating mental health. The maze is a self-inflicted situation that has been brought on by his internal struggle with himself. His experience in the wilderness has led him to question every aspect of his existence. It is causing the reverend to alienate himself from everyone else for example the young lady he meets in the town. He wants to be this knew persona he has created, but he isn't sure how to go about it or how he should treat people in the process. As we come to the culmination of book, I would like to see how the minister escapes or attempts to escape this maze he has entrapped himself in.
