In the novel "Red Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the role of Roger Chillingworth is no exception, but the heavy burden of his revenge has become so heavy that unprecedented individuality change has been brought about. Initially Roger Chillingworth, a modest doctor, slowly became a parasite through his revenge on his wife's lover Arthur Ding Mesdale, eventually causing him. downfall.

Chillingworth has devoted his life to revenge for Ding Mesdale. It took him seven years to pursue him, "cautioned" him to restore health, secretly tortured him. He eventually promised to torture the minister, so Chi Lin Mews became a devil. He even even made him live so that he could continue torture and continue his revenge. "Do not look back," Hester Prynne replied. I have never seen it in the past! Why are we lonly now? look! With this symbol, I unlock all of it, and it will be something like never before!

His appearance was terrible owing to the strange combination of his "civilized barbaric clothes" as the Indians just finished their imprisonment for a year. However, even if he is wearing better clothes, Chillingworth is hard to say attractive. He is small, a little deformed, and his shoulder is higher than the other shoulders.
