Roger "Leech" Chillingsworth

When Hester sees Chillingsworth for the first time after a long while he has changed much. Apparently his features had become much uglier, duskier, and his body more misshapen. He as a character represents the theme of evil since Puritans are simply following the law. How does he receive this title? He does so by destroying Arthur Dimmesdale in one of the most cruel ways. By doing and saying nothing regarding the affair between his wife and Dimmesdale. So instead of releasing Dimmesdale through the truth he trapped with the guilt of being a father.
