"In a word, old Roger Chillingworth was a striking example of man's faculty of transforming himself into a devil..." pg 116. **MICHELLE NKUMSAH** "now there was something ugly and evil in his face, which they had not previously no"... chapter 9 "Calm, gentle, passionless, as he appeared, there was yet, we fear, a quiet depth of malice, hitherto latent, but active now, in this unfortunate old man, which led him to imagine a more intimate revenge than any mortal had ever wreaked upon an enemy" (Hawthorne 95-96).

"Had a man seen old Roger Chillingworth, at that moment of his ecstasy, he would have had no need to ask how Satan comports himself, when a precious human soul is lost to heaven, and won into his kingdom.
