I recently finished the scarlet letter but was confused on why Dimmsdale died. I know that he had been suffering from guilt stemming from the sin he had committed but that couldn't kill a man. Does anyone this Chillingsworth might have done something to him. If the suffering Dimmsdale had throughout the novel was purely mental than how did he die. Any responses would be appreciated.
