Scarlet Letter Dialect Journal, 7 Ch. 4 pg. 67

“Live, therefore, and bear about thy doom with thee, in the eyes of men and women—in the eyes of him thou didst call thy husband—in the eyes of yonder child! And, that thou mayst live, take off this draught.”


I think Roger Chillingworth (her husband) is kind of a twisted evil man. He is angry with her(which he should be) but instead of not helping them and have her die, he wants them both to stay alive and healthy so they can both endure the punishment and humiliation. Even though he does seem like an eveil man now--- after he found out his wife had a baby--- he was a nice man. He was a book worm and all he wanted was to have a family with Hester. So is he good or bad??
