They let hester keep her child pearl. So hester went on with living her life and doing clothes and other things to sell so she could support pearl. It goes on to talk about Roger Chillingworth and who he is and how he really was before getting to boston and seeing his wife standing in the middle of a crowed with a baby in her arms. At that time roger was looking foward to finding his wife after three years and starting a family with a new home. Now roger had a new and dark purpose and he chose the reverend Mr. Dimmesdale as a spiritual guide. Roger wsas now a physician with great knowledge and skill. Soon roger would take good care of the reverend.
Roger learned that reverend dimmesdale had a secret that was causing him a illness and that was putting him in great sufferage.

Roger learned that the reverend Dimmesdale was the one that commited the sin with hester. He and hester were responsible for that bad sin that hester has to carry for the rest of her life. The difference was that hester was put in sin in front of everyone and was made to carry a scarlet letter for the rest of her life and the reverend was like nothing because no one knew. It was rogers mission to make the reverend suffer for what he did to hester. how he did Roger wrong and roger was in charge of making the reverend pay for what happened. Hester had a word with roger and told him to leave it to god and to his faith of what is in the future for reverend dimmesdale. She told him to leave him alone and not hurt him because life will take care of that.
What will Roger do to The Reverend?
