What does Chillingworth’s quest for revenge say about justice, punishment, and evil?

Chillingworth’s quest for revenge in my own personal point of view, is necessary. There is a argument of privacy that Hester deserves and what not, but they separated with a bond and a trust that nothing of adultery/ etc. would take place. This says that in revenge, justice should be taken place, but is it right always? I would say that depends on the situation and the severity of the situation.

The punishment and the evil that Chillingworth sets out for kind of says that justice is not always a task that law enforcement/ etc. can handle. The situation that Chillingworth is in, forces him to take it into his own hands. His wife commits adultery and he is heart broken and wants to punish the person who made his wife pregnant. This says that in justice sometimes, situations and cases need to be taken by the horn and handled by yourself.

The Scarlet Letter is an interesting book, but it is also a very confusing book. When I read the book, I almost have to read some lines twice to get it. The challenge isn’t a bad thing, but it is a good thing that is helping me become a better reader. The Scarlet Letter shows religion and how people were brought up to think about adultery back in the day. The book has not really affected my soul, maybe it will affect my soul when I am finished with the book and fully analyze it. The novel revolves around a deep message that I have yet to find. I hope that I can find this message out soon, or at least when the book ends.
