In "Red Letter", Nathaniel Hawthorne continuously attributed the quality of the thief to the magical dark character Roger Chillingworth. Throughout the novel, no matter where he is, where he is, he will be called countless "old blacks". (131). The nickname he gave has no doubt made clear that Hawthorne was intended to make Chillingworth take on the role of cold and dark letters, like a humble thief.
This article focuses on the role of Roger Chillingworth, one of the protagonists of "Red Letter". Chillingworth was first told that "White man wearing a strange mess of civilized and savage clothes" ("Red letter: 1365 pages"). It continues to explain him as a small old man looking like a high IQ and deformed body. Chillingworth plays a cool part in the book.
Roger Chillingworth is one of the major opponents of American literature, and his hatred desperately revenges him. Thanks to the author of a thorough introduction by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Chillingworth plays a quite sneaky role for most "red letters", but it seems to be partly sympathetic. The anger and insanity of Chillingworth was born out of a stunning and deformed heart and was redeemed only when his malicious things disappeared. When Chillingworth first appeared, his clothes contained "strangely chaotic civilization and brutal clothes", which brought symbolic insight into the person's culture and character of evil It was. In contrast to Hawthorne 's early explanation of Hawthorne' s bloody Hester Prynne, a tall, elegant figure with deep dark hair, Chillingworth 's brittleness and deformation means lack of passion. As his soul darkens pursuing revenge, the appearance of Chillingworth is shining in the ecliptic.
Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel "Scarlet Letter" is exploring the theme of revenge vigorously. Through the role of Roger Chillingworth, Hawthorne proved that revenge turned the seeker into a hypocrite, as Chillingworth and his dislikes, his wife, Hester Prynne's sweetheart, Arthur Dimmesdale made friends . Chillingworth also exemplified corruption of the revenge; physical, moral and spiritually, Chillings worsened until everything he left left to be his desire for revenge and his presence in Dimmesdale of suffering joy. Chillingworth became a devil like a black man in the legendary Satan forest. The relationship between Chillingworth and Dimmesdale shows that revenge is tied to something we dislike. Since every thought, emotion, and action of Zilingsworth is contained in Dimmesdale, he no longer exists. He died within one year after Dimmesdale.
