The young pastor suffers endlessly throughout the book. In contrast to the strong willed Hester, Dimmsdale is seen as quite cowardly. He shies away from the letter. This demonstrates that he doesn’t like to show himself for who he is. Since he is more weak spirited than Hester, as shown in “His spirit lacked the strength that could have borne up, as thine has been, beneath a burden like thy scarlet letter," (ch.14) The letters weight affects him more.

In his First Meditation Descartes offers a number of considerations in favour of the conclusion that all of his former beliefs are subject to doubt. Outline and critically evaluate ‘The Dreaming Argument’ that Descartes offers for this conclusion. Descartes started to doubt his beliefs when he came to the conclusion that his senses at several points throughout his life have deceived him. For example when you see a stick in water it appears to be bent but when you pull the stick out of the water it is in actual fact completely straight. In consideration of this he came to the conclusion he could no longer trust his senses such as sight, hear, sense, touch and smell.
