 * Chillingworth is a leech, he feeds on Dimmesdale
 * When he was captured by the Native Americans, he learned a lot of natural remedies so he seemed the a top notch when he came back and he knew how to cure diseases.
 * Whatever it was that Chillingworth discovered on Dimmesdale's chest
 * Now Chillingworth thinks that he knows everything and probably wants to torture him with this own secret.
 * When Chillingworth first came here, everyone thought he was so amazing. But then, they changed their mind and he became evil looking, he looks dark and evil.
 * He's trying to figure out Dimmesdale's secret, because he knows that the minister is becoming sick and worried over the burden that he carries.
 * Chillingworth and Dimmesdale become friends when Chillingworth took Dimmesdale into his house to take care of him.
 * Pearl and Hester were in the graveyard outside of Dimmesdale's house, and when they make eye contact with the men inside, Pearl refers to Chillingworth as "the black man". She tells Hester that they don't want to be captured by the evilness.
 * Chillingworth keeps hassling Dimmesdale to tell him the secret, but Dimmesdale says that he will not tell him it that he will conceal it. So then later in the night, Chillingworth goes and pulls on the ministers shirt and sees his chest, and is very happy by this he is dancing around.
 * Predict that Dimmesdale will get sicker because Chillingworth will try to make him sicker. Maybe Chillingworth will put stuff in his food or water to torture him into confessing.
