did not have any advantages overwhen it came to his physiognomy. His age was not the matter, but
his "studious" look may have been one of the few redeeming qualities that Hester may

He is far from
the studious man that he used to be, however, and his anger, hatred and hunger for revenge is
evident in his body as well as in his soul. Hawthorne has a very interesting way to word
Chillingworth's change. In , he goes as far as to suggesting that the medicine man's diabolical
