Hester Chillingworth: A Deformed Old Figure
Ariel C. Lorenzen
Mr. Zirretta
CP English 11-1
26 October 2011
TITLE
“SO ROGER Chillingworth—a deformed old figure, with a face that haunted men’s memories longer than they liked—took leave of Hester Prynne, and went stooping away along the earth. He gathered here and there an herb, or grubbed up a root, and put it into the basket on his arm. His gray beard almost touched the ground, as he crept onward…Would not the earth, quickened to an evil purpose by the sympathy of his eye, greet him with poisonous shrubs, of species hitherto unknown, that would start up under his fingers? Or might it suffice him, that every wholesome growth should be converted into something deleterious and malignant at his touch? Did the sun, which shone so brightly

    Members of the clergy, and the towns people, see Hester as a criminal and source of scandal, a scandal that affects not only her personally, but the community as a whole. In this Puritan culture, marriage is viewed as one of the foundations of social order, and a crime that violates the bonds of marriage threatens order itself. The demand for punishment of Hester's crimes is evident in the words of some of the female spectators, who feel she has not suffered enough, that the civil authorities "should have put the brand of a hot iron on Hester Prynne's forehead" (p. 162). The female spectators were very cruel when it came to Hester, even though she had only sinned once they thought it was not enough to just let her…

It analyzes how society must be acceptance of flaws for there to be peace. Which would in turn bring the good out of people and less sin so Hawthorne’s entire story is ironic upon itself to the aspect that sin may not be the end all of everything and that all people have good in…

    At first the purpose of the passage “Owls” by Mary Oliver is difficult to pinpoint. This is because Oliver begins with describing the penetrating fear of a “terrible” (33) great horned owl, and suddenly develops into a section discussing a desultory and trivial field of flowers. The mystifying comparison between the daunting fear of nature and its impeccable beauty is in fact Oliver’s purpose.…

    Chillingworth brought trouble to our main protagonist, Hester. A true antagonist is an individual who gets in the path of the protagonist’s goal. He held on to the past for eight years and devoted the rest of life to his revenge. Chillingworth’s idea of justifying the situation was to make the ones who hurt him suffer from what they have done. Basing off of this idea, it creates the perfect scenario for an antagonist to develop. Chillingworth gained antagonistic traits such as being relatable, taking pleasure in other’s miseries, not realizing their wrongdoings, and hiding their own secrets. It is difficult to imagine what Chillingworth felt, he was a scholar who worked hard in gaining knowledge. He felt that all of that work was useless after…

    Roger Chillingworth’s physical appearance serves as a very important tool in revealing his internal evil and sin. His first and most evident physical description is revealed through the quote, “…it was sufficiently evident to Hester Prynne that one of this man’s shoulders rose higher than the other.” (Hawthorne, 42) Here, his physical deformity serves as a mirror to the internal deformity of his soul. This quote quickly reveals to the reader that Chillingworth’s soul and mind are distorted just like his body. A second trait that captures the essence of Chillingworth is his piercing eyes, “Yet those same bleared optics had a strange, penetrating power, when it was their power’s purpose to see into the human soul.” (Hawthorne, 41) Chillingworth’s eyes show his one, clear purpose throughout this novel, to disrupt and exploit the human soul. His eyes not only symbolize his power to emotionally invade a heart, but also represent the devil inside of him. The evil spark that lights within his soul is shown through his flaming red eyes, “Ever and anon, too, there came a glare of red light out of his eyes; as if the old man’s soul were on…

    He awes us with his picturesque imagery of a ‘small cloud of cabbage-whites circles[ing] a bush’ and builds an atmosphere of serenity with the words ‘ the first [snow]flakes of the season spun over Brookline’ and one can only wonder how similarly reassuring these images are. With the words ‘they [the people of Beacon Street] had forgotten the miracle’, we feel angered, depressed and guilt-ridden thinking about man’s eternal pre-occupation therefore not having enough time for the miracles and wonders of the world and the same is justified when he says ‘their [butterflies’ and snowflakes’] element of joy was quickly forgotten’ and we can’t help but feel pity for those little creations of nature which beg for attention but get none. While this cocktail of pity and sorrow steadily develops from one side, his words ‘the leaves dimmed… that the flakes spun like ashes’ makes us first fearful of the darkness that is to come, afraid that we might have to go without warmth and light and then make us realize that we have bigger things to worry about like death and senescence (ashes, white hair and Arctic virginity of death). We do however, admire him for loving his land as much as he does (but before… in the sun) and he goes on to cheer us up with the prospect of having snowflakes on your eyelids and hair and looking out at gleaming sea scales in St. Lucia (white butterflies… in the sun) which fills us with warmth because this juxtaposition reminds us that even though we might be on this earth for a short time, good use of our time can be made.…

Knowing that many of the garden speeches are related makes it easy to see that not only does this play describe the beauty of England, but also the corruption and ugliness within the country as well.…
