Dimmesdale is compared to an important figure in Greek mythology when Ragussis writes, In the marketplace, Dimmesdale, like Oedipus, calls for the solution of the crime he himself has committed. Knowing that he is the man everyone (himself included) seeks, he is at once a criminal and a hypocrite, a knowing Oedipus" (Ragussis 68).

An example of Dimmesdale s guilt playing with his mind is evident here: We impute ...
