The Scarlet Letter Why does Chillingworth become the greatest sinner in violating the human heart? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by anonymous on 20 Dec 09:10
In The Scarlett Letter by Hawthorn, Chillingworth sets out to torture Dimmesdale in order to exact his revenge. Since he does this for his own satisfaction, he is considered the greatest sinner.
