34.)“Thou shalt not go alone!” answered she, in a deep whisper."

For the last 7 years Hester has been dealing will of this by herself. Although dimmesdale has been torturing along he has not been going through the same torture that Hester has been going through, but i think that Hester has a good heart. And even though she has been alone through of all of this she is not going to let him die alone. She loves him and she knows that he has been suffering and i think in way she blames herself because she did not tell him earlier that Chillingworth was her husband and that evil husband of hers has been torturing a man who really doesn't deserve to be tortured because he already feels guilty enough.
