"No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true." ((Chapter 20/PAGE 188))
Arthur can't keep living a lie with himself. The statement that nature always prevails and is always more powerful than anything made by men is paralleled with the dual lives Arthur has been living. The private guilt that has been killing him, caused due in part by society, will inevitably come out due to the nature (being public guilt in this instance) always presenting itself when its needed most. Sadly, whenever this happens and the truth is revealed, Chillingworth/society will be waiting and will pounce on the opportunity to make him feel bad and play his weak-willed character until it kills him.
