Guilt in the Scarlet Letter

Undoubtedly, Hester, Dimmesdale, and Chillingworth had every last(predicate) committed lou fumbleess in one form or another, still Chillingworths blurt out lies on a much larger verbotengo because while Hester and Dimmesdale repent for their sin Chillingworth fails to even recognize his own. Through stunned The sanguine Letter, the author illustrates Chillingworths transformation towards a devilish personality. This transformation is supply by what becomes Chillingworths obsession for revenge through the psychological twisting of Reverend Dimmesdale.Furthermore, because Chillingworth has allowed himself to become consumed with his thirst for revenge he himself has committed a sin, and although Hester and Dimmesdale have both sinned, their sin does not carry a alike weight to that of Chillingworths sin. Hester and Dimmesdale have sinned against themselves their sin does not, directly or indirectly, reckon those virtually them. Chillingworth, on the other hand, purposefully torments Dimmesdale and through this torture he externalizes his sin.The sense of the harmful nature about Chillingworths sin would be barely developed in saying that Hester and Dimmesdales was born out of love, Chillingworths came from spite. A sin directed to harm someone is sure more inhumane than a sin that came out of love. Another point, which gain intensifies the magnitude of Chillingworths sin, is his lack in ability to forgive those around him. Chillingworth continually exacerbates Dimmesdales pain until the day he dies and even on his dying day Dimmesdale makes it a point to forgive Chillingworths sin.This places further shame on Chillingworths sin because he has yet to attract that, even though Dimmesdale may deserve to be shown justice, he was in the wrong as well and that there should be a usual form of forgiveness. Because Chillingworth is lacks the ability to be forgiving, which may in turn apologise the oversight of his own sins, he does not come forth pursuan ce forgiveness in the community, in his victim, or in God. Both Hester and Dimmesdale want public forgiveness for their sin which shows willingness for change on their part. Chillingworth, however, did not.Hester, from the very beginning, pass judgment her punishment with dignity. She did not give up the father of the child and move her stoicism throughout the book, saying that when she had served her punishment it was not up to those in a local position of power to say so and that when her snip was up it would simply just fall off. Dimmesdales last efforts were regurgitate forth into seeking public forgiveness. The words he spoke to the community explaining his sin were near the last words he said sooner he dies which could be said to be portrayed as close to noble.However, Chillingworth would never admit he was also at fault of wrongdoing. This pigheadedness further plays into his transformation into a devil like figure. Chillingworths sin was born out of an evil spite fo r Dimmesdale, thus making his sin inherently evil where as Dimmesdale and Hester bore a sin out of love. This contrast, along with Chillingworths self-consuming quest for revenge serves to illustrate his transformation towards the devil. This highlights his sin as the lowest of the three
