I don't remember. I read the book as fast as possible answered the questions wrote the papers etc. I didn't try to analyze it and bring out the details.

Yea, he wipped himself...and starved himself etc. He undoubtedly branded himself...or cut it into himself etc.

He sounds crazy! :o Why didn't he just marry her before? :? It's sounds like a better alternative to whipping yourself in a closet and branding yourself! :o

Because was a wimp. He didn't have the guts to confess his sin publicly like Hester had to do...he chickened out and tortured himself for seven years...resulting in dea....never mind...you can find out the end for yourself. He was a respected Puritan minister...what would the people think if their beloved minister slept around with someone? Her being married already might have something to do with it...even though her husband was supposed to be dead.

If the moron just kept to himself and didn't mess around there wouldn't have been any problems :|
