Adulthood can be a time of distress or fulfillment. It will likely include deep feelings of loss and grief, and may also include a sense of hope and joy. Despair can come from the experience of loss, missed opportunities in the past, declining health, losing friends and family, and an ever-approaching unknown future.

(Taylor 136) Dimmesdale is losing from within, and it is showing through to the outside. “I have laughed, in bitterness and agony of heart, at the contrast what i seem and what I am.” (Hawthorne 131) Dimmesdale does reveal his sin, but no one realized because he tells it through his

Sita’s first interaction with Rama exhibits her eastern woman qualities as she cries out about his greatness, “Shoulders of emerald, eyes like lotus petals, who is he? He invaded my heart and has deprived me of all shame! A robber who could ensnare my heart and snatch away my peace of mind! Broad-shouldered, but walked off so swiftly.
