(Hawthorne)

Chillingworth was lost with his life when he finds out all of the truth but he wasn't really sure about it. In the middle of the nobel he got despaired because he needed to absorb all of the material and all of the events that occurred during the two years that he was absent in Hester's life. After Seven years Hester is back into society. She starts working by making dresses dor the ladies of town. The irony comes when she makes dresses for all of the women in the town but the only dress that she didn't do wedding dresses. Why ironic ? Because she was married and committed adultery and what happened to her was heavily punished in the Puritan society. In the Novel Hawthorne criticizes the Puritan society by using these types of examples. When Chillinworth meats with Hester after seven years without seeing her. He talks with her and she confesses who really was the person that got Her pregnant. She says that it was Dimsdale he says that he knew since the moment that they stated living together that Dimsdale is Pearls father. While Chillingworth is talking with Hester he is thinking about revenge. Hester feels like she already ruined two people because of her sin she says "Another Ruin"( Hawthorne, Chapter 14). When she talks about two people getting ruined she meant Dimsdale and Chillingworth. Chillingworth because he became an Evil and Dark person since the moment he recognizes Hester with a child that is no his and Dimsdale because he is dying of Guilt because he recognized that par of Hester's punishment should have being paid by him because he is the father of the child.( Hawthorne)
When Chillingworth left from talking to Hester. She recognizes how evil he became after what happened and realizes that she hates him. He starts walking away in a weird way with a hunched back and like an evil person. When he admits that although he used to be kind, gentle and affectionate, he now allows evil to use him. Roger Chillingworth is a really weird character in the story because it represents bipolarity he changes his mood or moral in a second it was almost instantaneous when he was like the innocent and the victim in the Novel. Hester says that he is a flat person. Why Flat? Because he represents the pure Evil by using medicine or experiments. He also was called a "leech" that meant a doctor or physician. ( Hawthorne)
When Chillingworth at the end of the Novel is another part when his Evil comes back again. When Dimsdale, Hester and Pearl go up together the scaffold and reveal that Hester's Lover was Arthur Dimsdale. He was present in the crowd, he was dying of the frustration and how angry he could be when his wife "Cheated" on him. So Dimsdale told Pearl to kiss him and say goodbye to him and he falls down and dies. Chillinworth was angry because now their was no cause to get revenge from someone that already died. Tat als represents the evil of Chillingworth because he wanted revenge but now that Dimsdale is dead he cant get it that says a lot of his characteristics. How crazy could you be that you still get angry about getting revenge when that person is already dead.(Hawthorne)
Roger Chillingworth then leaves the new world to another place. Hester and Pearl stay and became wealthy people. When Hester dies she leaves everything to Pearl and was berried on Dimsdales side and their was an "A" carved on the Gravestone. Dimsdale dies of guilt becase it was also his fault that Hester got pregnant and he recognized that he had to pay the punishment with Hester.(Hawthorne)
