Entry 8
"A man burdened with a secret should especially avoid the intimacy of his physician" (Hawthorne, Chapter 9).
This quote really struck me as a universal sort of warning given by Hawthorne. Not only does it speak to Dimmesdale, but to the reader as well. The quote also foreshadows what will happen between Chillingworth and Dimmesdale. It's possible that Chillingworth will discover that Dimmesdale is Pearl's father.
