Climax- The climax starts when Reverend Dimmesdale is "sleep walking" in town square about to confess to the whole town at night what he did. He tries to confess  by holding Hester's hand but instead a meteor lights the sky with a A on the sky. So therefore that interrupts his confessions and helps Chilligsworth stop him and take him home.
