(im trying to use present tense, but the embedded quotes i use are past tense!)-weird wording of sentence?-sentences structureproblems?In The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author presents the characters in which their physical appearances mirror their mental, emotional, or moral state. Roger Chillingworth and Arthur Dimmesdale are two such characters that portray these characteristics. Hawthorne uses descriptive language such as rhetorical devices. Detail and imagery for example, are used to accomplish this goal. Detail is used to lay facts of Chillingworth’s characteristics, while imagery is portrayed to display Dimmesdale’s physical features. At the same time, this better relates how peoples outsides, represent their insides. Nathaniel Hawthorne conveys descriptive detail in this writing to portray a relation between Chillingworth’s outward appearance and inner emotions. By doing so, the author presents the character as a sickened old man, seeking vengeance against Reverend Dimmesdale. It is also ironic to analyze Chillingworth’s name; chill, may in other words mean a raw, cold-hearted being. One of his “
shoulders [also] rose high[-er] than the other
a slight deformity of the figure
” (57), which can conclude that he is unbalanced, not knowing how to balance right and wrong, which leads to a dark, ugly, corrupted and “distorted” figure. Roger Chillingworth had arranged a stay at Dimmesdale’s house, “so that every ebb and flow of the minister’s life-tide might pass under the eye of his anxious and attached physician” (114). Although he is Dimmesdale’s physician, he has an insincere hatred towards the minister. He wants to wreak vengeance upon Old Mr. Dimmesdale once finding that he is the adulterer of Hester Prynne. Chillingworth has “
 a terrible fascination, a kind of fierce, though calm, necessity seized the old man within its gripe, and never set him free again until he had done all its bidding. He now dug into the poor clergyman’s heart, like a miner searching for gold
” (117). By portraying descriptive detail in that passage, Hawthorne then exhibits the actions and inner emotions of Chillingworth’s wishes to wreak revenge upon Reverend Dimmesdale. Chillingworth has a “dept of malice, [toward] the unfortunate old man, which led him to imagine a more intimate revenge than any mortal had ever wreaked upon an enemy” (127), he is “the spring that controlled the engine; and the physician knew it well!”(127). Chillingworth is letting his rage and anger devour him, turning him into a mindless machine whose intent goal is to torture and agonize Reverend Dimmesdale.Chillingworth had all the strength and energy he needed, that that drove him to inflict misery and woe upon old Reverend Dimmesdale, but “
 after Dimmesdale’s death, in the appearance and demeanor of the old man known as Roger Chillingworth. All his strength and energy—all this vital and intellectual force, seemed at once to desert him; insomuch that he positively withered up, shriveled away, and almost vanished from mortal sight, like an uprooted weed that lies wilting in the sun” (232). He lived to do the devils bidding, and once done, he let himself rot; there was no reason for him to live.Chillingworth was no longer a man of intellect, but a man of full of vengeance which had taken over his entire body destroying all the good within him. He had made revenge his everything, but once Dimmesdale had died, there was no need of vengeance in his soul, and he was left with nothing, there was no heart within his soul. In short, “
 there was no more Devils work on earth for him to do” (232). In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne also displays imagery of Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale in the novel to portray how inner emotions can mirror their outer appearances. Dimmesdale was once a very “
 young clergyman, who had come from one of the great English universities, bringing all the learning of the age into our wild forest-land” (62). He was “
of very striking aspect, with a white, lofty, and impending, brow, large, brown, melancholy eyes” (62).With imagery applied, Hawthorne presents Dimmesdale as a lively young priest. Though Dimmesdale soon grows insecure of his surroundings, guilt starts to lay heavy on his shoulders from the lie that causes him misery. His conscious and guilt begins to torture him. He clenches his heart as if some inner emotions pain him; he shortly grows to trust no friend. “He loathed his miserable self!” (130), with such fault, Dimmesdale begins lose his strength and grows weaker and weaker by day especially with Chillingworth hovering over his shoulders. Guilt and shame has caused him despair and also weakens his heart. After years o
