Person Vs. Person – Dimmesdale and Hester are afraid that he will not be able to escape from Chillingworth’s care. This is also situational irony because the beginning reason Chillingworth is watching over Dimmesdale is to help him and cure him of his sickness.…
A leech is an animal or person who sucks either the blood or information out of another respectively. The act of leeching is to exploit someone or something. Chillingsworth falsification of his name to become a doctor for Dimmesdale is the eponymy of a leech. He uses this natural leeching type of treatment to cure Dimmesdale while all he wants is for Dimmesdale to be sucked out of all of his feeling. The dehumanizing treatment is emotionally grueling for the sickening Dimmesdale. Much like a leech at first it is a small interesting creature as this new doctor who is going to save Dimmesdale is seen, but over time you will see the leech for its harmful intentions much like how the town sees Chilingsworth turn from the curing miracle angel to a devil like human.…

Especially in chapters thirteen and fourteen, we see how sin is gripping on Chillingworth and Dimmesdale. Hester views Dimmesdale’s suffering as her responsibility to help him- after all, they are connected. “Hester saw- or seemed to see- that there lay a responsibility upon her, in reference to the clergyman, which she owed to no other, nor the whole world besides. The links that united her to the rest of humankind--links of flowers, or silk, or gold, or whatever the material--had all been broken. Here was the iron link of mutual crime, which neither he nor she could break.” Because of this link, Hester finds it appropriate to talk to Chillingworth about the pain and suffering he’s inflicted upon Dimmesdale. She realizes that his thirst to find the sin in Dimmesdale has changed him into a different man that he was when she was married to him, it has truly taken a toll on him inside and out.…
In order to fully understand and empathize with Chillingworth, the reader must consider things from his point of view, climb into his skin and walk around in it. It was common in Puritan times for couples to wed for money and security rather than for love. Many of these loveless marriages were successful. In addition, Chillingworth’s “torments” towards Hester and Dimmesdale were out of passion towards his wife. He, like any other man, felt it necessary to remain close to his wife, regardless of the lack of love felt between them. Yes, Chillingworth did turn into a bit of a devil in the end, lusting after vengeance towards Dimmesdale. But Dimmesdale turned into a floppy, soggy, mush of fabric, unable to support himself. Chillingworth was still able to support himself, and properly chase after and acquire his goal. Dimmesdale was…

However, as disappointed as he was that Hester committed adultery, he felt more anger against the person who lay down with Hester. This is possibly due to jealousy because the person who did this with Hester was able to get her to love him, while Chillingworth in all his attempts was not able to get her to love him. Chillingworth stated that he plans to find the man, and when he does, he does not want to report him to the authorities. The reason he gives for this is that if he tells on the man who committed adultery with Hester he says it would be, “to mine own loss, betray him to the gripe of human law.” In other words, the betrayer’s consequences would be at the hand of proper authorities, and not in the control of Chillingworth. This shows a very depressing, vengeful future for Chillingworth instead of the positive one that he had been hoping for. It is very plain to see that Chillingworth changes greatly after the finds Hester on the…
Unlike Chillingworth, the other characters of the book experience significant guilt and penance that completely changes who they are. Arthur Dimmesdale, another great sinner, feels considerable guilt and inflicts a course of penance upon himself, even when no one demands it of him. His guilt completely shattered the poor man where "his nerve was absolutely destroyed" and "his moral fierce was abased into more that childish weakness" (Hawthorne, 148). Hester Prynne's guilt also has similar effects as Dimmesdale. "All the light and graceful foliage of her character had been withered up by this red hot brand [scarlet letter]" (Hawthorne, 152) revealing the lasting damage that her penance had inflicted on her. Dimmesdale's and Hester's transformation because of their guilt is immense compared to Chillingworth's tiny or no…
Dudley Moore, 32, was a patient in the St. Mary’s hospital. Moore was assaulted in his room, 412. On arrival, he was pronounced alive and removed by paramedics to the ER. Whitney Colclasure accompanied the victim, but was unable to receive a statement. The whole scene was photographed. The victim was the primary evidence; A. Dudley was wearing a hospital gown lying on the hardwood floor, his head in the southwest corner and his feet facing northeast. He was lying with his mouth open and his eyes closed. Fresh blood was visible due to the lacerations on his right hand and a deep apparent knife wound to his upper left thigh. His hand wound possibly resulted in self-defense.
