Read these lines from The Scarlet Letter, about Roger Chillingworth:

His face darkened with some powerful emotion, which, nevertheless, he so instantaneously controlled by an effort of his will, that, save at a single moment, its expression might
have passed for calmness. After a brief space, the convulsion grew almost imperceptible, and finally subsided into the depths of his nature.
What does this characterization reveal about Chillingworth?

He can easily deceive others.
He is a very calm person

He doesn't remain angry for long

He doesn't care about his wife
