Dimmesdale depended on Chillingworth to help him live. Soon they grew a relationship, which is the connection. A over soul connection is also found when Chillingworth and Dimmesdale were walking and come across a grave. On the grave was a black weed. Chillingworth says that the weed grows from the man’s body, actually from the man’s sin. This is an example that man, or man’s emotions, transform into plant. In Scarlet Letter, the characters believe in the supernatural. When a red A appears in the sky, the people believe it is an angel sending a message.

The transcendentalist had no proof of its existence, but transcendentalist were open to theories because they felt that they should speak freely.

But Dimmesdale offers us a hierarchy of sin—a crime of passion, like the one he and Hester committed, isn't nearly as bad as betraying the human heart by mercilessly plotting to destroy a man. That earns you a mark from the Black Man himself—without all the pretty embroidery....
