I picked "Reflection" because it describes how Dimmesdale is feeling. Dimmesdale wants to tell the truth about his dark secret because its a heavy burden on his heart and started to effect his health " About this period, however, the health of Mr. Dimmesdale had edviently begun to fail.". Christina said in the song, "Now I see If I wear a mask I can fool the world But I cannot fool my heart." this relates to Dimmesdale is forced to keep it in to please the towns people, " The young divine, whose scholar like little less than heavenly ordained apostle, destined, should he live and labor for the ordinary term of life, to do as great deeds, for the now feeble New England Church, as early Fathers had acheived for the infancy of the Christiain faith. From this quote you can gather that the towns people thinks very highly of Dimmesdale and exspects him to do great thing.
"Look at me You may think you see who I really am but you'll never know me", Dimmesdale knew that the people thought that he wasn't who they thought he was, and him and Hester were really the only ones that really knew about the dark truth. "When will my reflection show Who I am inside?" Dimmesdale doesn't know when the time will come when he tells the truth, he wants to break free, but doesn't want his want of freedom to bethe down fall of him. "I cannot fool my heart", Dimmesdale heart is screaming out to tell the truth and the situation is constantly on his concious. Overall the song "Reflection" message is a cry out to be the real person you are and stop acting like a person you are not; the message is Dimmesdale current situation.
