Individuality and Conformity
While serving as Dimmesdale'southward "leech" (a term for a doctor) Chillingworth begins to suspect that Dimmesdale'due south condition may stem from stress caused past some kind of surreptitious. He tries to find out this secret, merely Dimmesdale refuses to divulge it.
Chillingworth recognizes the consequence of secret sins. Still he hides things too, and becomes an actual "leech" feeding off Dimmesdale's sin.
One day, Chillingworth and Dimmesdale notice Hester and Pearl in the cemetery outside Dimmesdale'southward domicile. Pearl is playing on the headstones and attaching burrs to Hester'due south reddish letter.
Pearl's connection to the occult is here linked to her fixation on the cherry letter. This fixation results from Hester'south secrecy.
Pearl throws one of the burrs she is carrying toward Dimmesdale. She tells Hester that they should leave since the Black Man has possessed Dimmesdale and will go them as well.
Identifying Dimmesdale as a sinner, Pearl throws him an extension of the ruby letter. But is his sin adultery or silence?
Themes
Dimmesdale's wellness gets worse. Chillingworth attributes his illness to his hole-and-corner, but Dimmesdale still refuses to reveal it. When Dimmesdale falls comatose, Chillingworth pushes aside Dimmesdale's shirt and sees something there that gives him joy. The narrator likens Chillingworth's touch to Satan stealing a soul.
Chillingworth, like the Puritans in general, maintains the advent of righteousness but is actually a sinner, and feeds off the sins of others.
