The Scarlet Letter .. Chapter Five - Hester at her Needle .. Post #24

"Over and over again, the temper of souls [...] in its dungeon." (Page 73)

The temper of souls definitely is the devil, its dungeon is another word for hell. Its together with the idea of Hester staying in the colony in this paragraph and Dimmesdale, which is not known as Pearl's father on earth, having a future together with Hester, living in revenge.
Is Chillingworth this time connected with the devil? Does he wants to act revenge, even against Hester, not just against Chillingworth?

  1. Okay. So are you suggesting that the society is the dungeon?
