Read the excerpt spoken by the man who takes the name of Roger Chillingworth from Chapter 4 of The Scarlet Letter. "Let, therefore, thy husband be to the world as one already dead, and of whom no tidings shall ever come. Recognize me not, by word, by sign, by look! Breathe not the secret above all, to the man thou wottest of. Shouldst thou fail me in this, beware!" Which character trait of Roger Chillingworth does Hawthorne develop in the excerpt?
