While reading the next section of the book the passage in chapter 14 where Hawthorne discribes the change in Chillingworth jumped out at me. I found it interesting how he chose to show the true evil of Chillingworth by saying "Roger Chillingworth was a striking evidence of man's faculty of transforming himself into the devil." (ch 14, pg158) Until this point in the story Hawthorne had eluded to how evil he was but not to this extreme.
