The Scarlet Letter .. Chapter Nine - The Leech .. Post #31

"His first entry on the scene, few people could tell whence, dropping down, as it were, out of the sky, or starting..."

This paragraph again is about Chillingworth. It says that he 'Fell out of the sky'. As Chillingworth is referred to the devil, this could be another hint to the bible. One of the theories how satan was created is that when God was in Eden, he felt lonely and before he made Adam and Eve he banned the Loneliness out of his body, which came to life and so satan was made.
