The Scaffold Scene.
In the book there are three scaffold scenes. The first one was in chapter 2. Hester and Pearl stand on the scaffold, Bellingham, Wilson and Dimmesdale were above it, Chillingworth was below it, just as the people.
The second scene is in chapter twelve. Here Hester, Pearl and Dimmesdale are on the scaffold, The shooting star was above it, Chillingworth and Wilson were below it.
Hester and Pearl are twice on the scaffold, Dimmesdale went down, from the balcony down to the scaffold. Does he walk down again? Will he be next to the scaffold on the last scene? Another thing is the comparison from night and day. The first scene was in the daylight, the second in the middle of the night. What will the third be?
in the daylight of course - and it'll be similar to the opening scene.
