Compare And Contrast Chillingworth And Chillinsdale
The Comparisons Between Roger Chillingworth and Reverend Dimmsdale

In “The Scarlet Letter” two of the characters we see are Reverend Dimmsdale and Roger Chillingworth, both have apast and both are hiding secrets. They are also the unlikeliest of friends due to the fact that Dimmsdale is a man of God and Chillingworth is a doctor. Even though the two men are different from one another they still cohabitate very well. The secret that Dimmsdale holds is that he is Pearl’s father. This secret is eating away at Dimmsdale because he’s a pastor, and he is supposed to be holy and set an example for the church, yet he is an adulterer. Dimmsdale acts strangely, and gets nervous or frustrated when he gets into deep conversations with Roger Chillingworth.

    Authur Dimmesdale, a puritan reverend in Boston, fell in love with Hester Prynne, a young woman married to Roger Chillingworth. His inability to control his feelings led to an adulterous relationship between himself and Hester, resulting in the birth of Pearl. Both Hester and Authur lived guiltily, and Dimmesdale punished himself for the sin he committed. When Chillingworth arrived in America and realized his wife’s affair, he sought to discover Pearl’s father and take vengeance. Since Dimmesdale felt ill, Chillingworth utilized this opportunity to disguise himself as Dimmesdale’s physician since he has knowledge about medicine. Suspecting Dimmesdale as the father of Pearl, Chillingworth, with a maleficent personality, exploited Dimmesdale and tortured him psychologically. Critics argue about who committed the greater sin since Hester and Dimmesdale committed adultery while Chillingworth took revenge and tortured Dimmesdale.…

    The fifth and final clue or detail that can lead to Pearl’s father/Mr. X’s identity is when Reverend Dimmesdale is saying that Hester will not reveal the name of her lover and fellow sinner/adulterer, he comments on the strength and generosity of a woman’s heart. He is grateful for that strength and generosity because without it he easily could have been given up by Hester as her lover and fellow sinner/adulterer, which would have gotten him in a lot of trouble with Mr. Wilson and Governor Bellingham, and would have gotten him exiled from the rest of the town and townspeople, just like Hester Prynne was.…

    Sometimes, Dimmesdale seems like a coward. However, all he is trying to do is be an admirable pastor to his people, yet Dimmesdale has his unconfessed sins still burdening him. The reader can understand Dimmesdale’s desolation when Dimmesdale found out who Roger Chillingworth really was. As Hawthorne says in The Scarlet Letter, “ The minister looked at her for an instant, with all that violence of passion, which - intermixed in more shapes than one his higher, purer, softer qualities - was, in fact, the portion of him which the devil claimed, and through which he sought to win the rest.” (Hawthorne 214). In that excerpt of the book, the reader can grasp Dimmesdale’s rage. He feels betrayed by Hester because she did not tell him who Roger Chillingworth really was. Dimmesdale is also very upset that even with all of the torture he has put himself through, that he still does not regret his sin. Hawthorne also adds ,” Of penance, I have had enough! Of penitence, there has been none!” (Hawthorne 212) He feels that he has tortured himself enough, but he feels no guilt for his sins. Even though Dimmesdale knows that telling the people his thoughts are erroneous, he still wants everyone to know. In fact, he feels guilty for not saying anything and letting Hester take the fall for the punishment. Hawthorne includes, “ Else, I should long ago have thrown off these garments of mock holiness, and have…

    Roger Chillingworth came to town with the Indians, and Hawthorne described them as outcasts and dwellers of the forest. Roger had learned all his tricks and medicines from the Indians and therefore was able to prolong Dimmesdale’s torture through using herbs. Chillingworth says, “Don’t think that I will lay a finger on him and interfere with Heaven’s work of punishment...let him live.” Chillingworth never physically laid a hand on Dimmesdale, but he kept him healthy using the herbs to make sure that Dimmesdale would endure the torture of his affair, mentally and physically. Chillingworth knew exactly what he was doing to Dimmesdale.He said it would have been better had he died right away than endure seven years of vengeance. Here Roger is admitting that he has spent the last seven years using his herbs to keep Dimmesdale alive because death would be too easy.…

    During the first scene he asks Hester to tell him who Pearl’s father was, and when she refuses he becomes angry and vows to find and destroy that man. When he finds out that it is Dimmesdale, who is unaware of Chillingworth’s true identity, he moves in with him and begins psychologically torturing the minister about his sin. Once Hester finally told Dimmesdale of his true identity, he spoke of him “We are not, Hester, the worst sinners in the world. There is one worse than even the polluted priest! The old man’s revenge has been blacker than my sin. He has violated, in cold blood, the sanctity of the human heart.” (Hawthorne, 131) to describe how over the years, Chillingworth had become a mindless machine bent only on revenge. When Dimmesdale finally dies, Chillingworth begs him not to, and soon loses his mind, vanishes, and dies, as his only purpose in life, to hurt Dimmesdale, could not be done anymore. Although the sin had not been his, Roger Chillingworth had let it consume his entire…

    Rodger Chillingworth is one of the most chilling, and at first glance, sympathetic characters in The Scarlet Letter. Chillingworth is a man disgraced by his wife’s actions. Throughout the book, he chooses to remain in the shadows of the pages to torture Dimmesdale, his wife’s lover, with his guilt. However, before the events of the novel, Chillingworth is described as a kind, intelligent man. Nathaniel Hawthorne characterizes Rodger Chillingworth as a Lucifer type figure, using fierce diction and a good and malevolent binary.…

Dimmesdale hid a secret behind the mask he wore for the community. He had courage to commit the sin but he did not have the courage to admit it. He committed adultery with a woman, she got pregnant, caught and punished by public humiliation because of him, but he couldn’t accept the consequences. On the other hand, he was tortured not only by his conscience; he was beat down by Roger Chillingworth. Eventually Dimmesdale was destined to die because he could not survive the guilt.

    As his lie grows so does Dimmesdale’s inner turmoil of pretending to be someone he is not. By keeping his sin deep down inside, Dimmesdale is not only being untrue to the people he interacts with, but he is also being untrue to himself. “To the untrue man, the whole universe is false-it is impalpable-it shrinks to nothing within his grasp. And he himself, in so far as he shows himself in a false light, becomes a shadow, or, indeed, ceases to exist,” where as the true man is confident as to where he stands in the universe, and will be bathed in the glorious light of life (Hawthorne 137). Being true to yourself will not only allow a person to become their own person, but it also allows that person to be sure of the role they have in life. Therefore being honest and true has only positive effects, while being untrue leads someone to having self-doubt, fear, and ultimately losing the person that they once were. In Dimmesdale’s case, he is doubting all of his actions and is slowly letting his own personality slip and be lost forever, he must come clean to save the real Arthur Dimmesdale and become himself again. Confessing his sin is the only way, which Dimmesdale does in order to become his own self for Pearl at least once. “May God forgive thee!’ said the minister. ‘Thou too, hast deeply sinned!’ [...] dear little Pearl, wilt thou kiss me now?” As a changed man, one who now will not hide his sin (Hawthorne 242). On his deathbed Dimmesdale finally confesses his sin and turns to his daughter that he has pretended doesn’t exist, and he asks for a kiss from her-father to daughter-as the real Arthur Dimmesdale. Finally happy, because the man had been true to himself and others and not continuing a horrid lie. Proving that being truthful will have only positive effects from it, while being untrue will only wreak havoc and chaos in a…

    Dimmesdale refuses to stand with Pearl and his mistress Hester Prynne for their sins, but instead he claims that he would stand with them only before god himself. This supports his belief in salvation by faith rather than by works because he decides to only tell God of his sin and leave it a secret to the public. By telling the public it would be seen as a work in his own eyes meaning that public confession would be against his own beliefs therefore disabling him from his own confession. Pastors which are expected to be holy people tend to stray from sin. In the event that they do sin, it is never major. As a highly respected minister, Dimmesdale’s sins seem to be pushed to the side. Instead of the pastors sins making him look bad, the congregation seems to flip it and make themselves look bad. In the text, it is stated on behalf of his followers, “Alas, if he discern such sinfulness in his own white soul, what horrible spectacle would he behold in thine or mine”(Hawthorne 141)! The point that his church is trying to get across is…

    Throughout Dimmesdale’s encounters with the townspeople of Salem, it becomes clear to us that he is fallible. Dimmesdale lacks a moral code. As a minister the people look to him for advice; however, by the citizens talking to Dimmesdale individually it’s doing them more harm than good. Dimmesdale is sending the members of his congregation into their own states of moral confusion and changing their attitudes and behaviors. Pearl causes Dimmesdale to have an epiphany by making him realize his own fallibility. Pearl shows him that by denying her he is denying his true self.…
