The tapestry shows the adultery committed between King David and Bathsheba. This underscores the adultery committed between Dimmesdale and Hester.

Who is Dimmesdale?

  • He is one of the main characters in "The Scarlet Letter."
  • He is a reverend in a Puritan community.
  • He is the father of Hester's child.

Dimmesdale had a child with Hester, but that child was conceived out of wedlock, which is considered adultery in Puritanism. This places Dimmesdale and Hester as sinners and unworthy.

This relationship is highlighted with the tapestry in the house of Dimmesdale, which shows the adultery between King David and Bathsheba.
