There are various opinions about the origin of Dimmesdale's new strength (spirtual, medicinal, musical), but I beliee that Dimmesdale's strength was born as a response to Hester and Pearl's position near the scaffold. The knowledge he would no longer bear or hide the shame of his sin, sets him free.
