7. While depicting both characters as supernatural, Hawthorne contrasts Chillingworth with Dimmesdale through connotative diction. Words used to describe Dimmesdale, like “freshness,” “dewy,” and “angel” (69) evoke innocence, as opposed to words like “writhing,” “twisted,” and “darkened,” which portend corruption. These words from the narrator establish a difference between these men that seems to escape the townspeople, who view both men as skillful and assets to the community. The town turns to Dimmesdale and Chillingworth, brought together at the scaffold, to aid Hester and unravel the mystery of her child. While their outward actions seem to convey their similar nature, the narrator informs the reader that each man is not what he seems to be.
