2. Chapter 9 Notes Dimmesdale's poor health and Chillingworth's interest in the young man combine to make many of the church officials try to get them to live together. Dimmesdale declines at first, saying, "I need no medicine.” Dimmesdale finally gets into the permanent habit of placing his hand over his heart in pain, and he agrees to meet with Chillingworth The use of the term "leech" to describe Chillingworth is at once appropriate and ironic After all, he is a physician, and leeches at the time were used in order to facilitate bloodletting. At the same time, However, Hawthorne is obviously suggesting the parasitic relationship between Chillingworth and Dimmesdale. Some townspeople begin to believe: Chillingworth has undergone a profound change since arriving in Boston, going from a genial old man to an ugly and evil person. Thus, "it grew to be a widely diffused opinion that the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale ... was haunted either by Satan himself, or Satan's emissary, in the guise of old Roger Chillingworth.” Thus society is split in half over the man, some seeing him as a helper of Dimmesdale, others seeing him rightfully as the spawn of "The Black Man," having dangerous motives.

4. Chillingworth senses a secret animal side in Dimmesdale and wishes to reveal it. Dimmesdale, unfortunately, cannot recognize what Chillingworth is doing: "Trusting no man as his friend, he could not recognize his enemy when the latter actually appeared." Chapter 10, pg. 120. Chillingworth states that on a walk he finds leaves growing from an unmarked grave. The men speculate about the cause? They grew out of his heart, and typify, it may be, some hideous secret that was buried with him, and which he had done better to confess during his lifetime.' 'Perchance,' said Mr. Dimmesdale, 'he earnestly desired it, but could not. Why should a wretched man--guilty, we will say, of murder--prefer to keep the dead corpse buried in his own heart, rather than fling it forth at once, and let the universe take care of it!" During this conversation, Pearl and Hester approach the cemetery, which Chillingworth's apartment overlooks. Pearl collects burrs from the side of a grave and sticks them to Hester's Scarlet Letter. She also throws one at Dimmesdale, who is looking at the two women from a second floor window. This gesture causes Hester to look up as well, and the four people are caught all staring at each other. Pearl breaks the silence by saying, "Come away, mother! Come away, or yonder old Black Man will catch you! He hath got hold of the minister already. Come away, mother, or he will catch you! But he cannot catch little Pearl!"’ What does chillingsworth find while the ReverenedDimmesdale sleeps that makes him so happy? A few days later, Chillingworth finds Dimmesdale fast asleep in a chair at midday. "But with what a wild look of wonder, job, and horror! With what a ghastly rapture...making itself even riotously manifest by the extravagant gesture with which he threw up his arms towards the ceiling, and stamped his foot upon the floor!

Why is it important? What is one theme we can already see in the book? Students are then broken into four groups, each group is given a quote from each chapter we’ve read. Students must analyze the importance of their quotes in relation to a class constructed theme already evident in the early part of the novel. Students are given twenty minutes in groups. We spend twenty more minutes hearing reports from our groups. In this way, students frame our discussion and create the class narrative of discussion. Students will create posters to support thematic evidence. Each group will set up an initial GLOGSTER poster and as we read add quotes from ongoing reading to the poster, which at the end should have no less than 5 quotes that establish theme throughout the book.
