At a suspenseful point in the novel an Errol Flynn-esque character
comes crashing through a window to save the day. Rand was a
screenwriter before (and even after) launching into a successful career

Arthur Dimmesdale, from The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne,
was the perfect minister. He gave more powerful and touching sermons
than anyone else around. He was the overall image of perfection for a
minister. However, he had a grave secret that ate at him from within.
He had committed adultery with one of his parishioners and fathered a
child. Hawthorne uses Dimmesdale to make a point that guilt for
unpunished sin will erode a person until they die. Dimmesdale is unable
to publicly face the consequences of his sin, so his guilt drives him
to masochism, attempted confessions, and eventually leads to his death.
