Changes in Roger Chillingsworth
In the novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter, there is a character by the name of Roger Prynne. He changes in the many different ways. His changes are physical, moral, and spiritual. Roger Prynne changes physically over the course of the book. First of all he changes his name. He is the Roger Prynne and changes to Roger Chillingworth to hide form the shame of being Hester's husband. He also changes his physical appearance. Before the book starts he is a well-dressed scholar form Amsterdam. Then at his first appearance in the book he is very wild looking with wild dres
Third of all, his expression changes. He is so intent on vengeance that he spends his time trying to destroy Dimmesdale's sanity. His first sin is marrying a young and passionate Hester, knowing she does not love him and he cannot be to her the type of husband she needs. Last of all Roger Chillingworth changes spiritually. In the beginning it seems as if he is the one being sinned against, being shipwrecked, captured by Indians, and then entering Boston and finding his wife holding a baby that is not his. As awful as it is, he can blame no one but himself. Secondly Chillingworth tries to play God by judging Dimmesdale. Secondly Chillingworth changes morally. Now his face has become somewhat ugly and evil looking. But for Hawthorne, and the reader, these answers are wrong.
