In the dictionary “love” means-(luv) 1. strong affection or liking for someone or something 2. a passionate affection of one person for another 3. the object of such affection; a sweetheart or lover In the Holy Bible-(New King James Version)-CORINTHIANS 12:21 The Greatest Spiritual Gift 4 love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fall; whether there are no tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away To answer the question, No, Hester does in fact love Dimmesdale, but Dimmesdale loves God. According to the definitions listed in the dictionary and the Holy Bible, love is most commonly defined as two people being in “love” with one another and love prevails over all.
