Hester‚ Chillingworth‚ and Dimmesdale have executed sinful‚ secretive actions that led them to be punished in shameful ways. Who of the three is the biggest sinner? Dimmesdale and Hester believe that Chillingworth is the worst sinner because of his deliberate revenge that “has been blacker than [his] sin” (Hawthorne 176).
