Read the excerpt relating to Roger Chillingworth from Chapter 4 of The Scarlet Letter. "Even if I imagine a scheme of vengeance, what could I do better for my object than to let thee live,â€"than to give thee medicines against all harm and peril of life,â€"so that this burning shame may still blaze upon they bosom?"â€"As he spoke, he laid his long forefinger on the scarlet letter, which forthwith seemed to scorch into Hester's breast, as if it had been red-hot. He noticed her involuntary gesture, and smiled. What does the excerpt reveal about Roger Chillingworth? He is committed to ending Hester's suffering. He has no intention of truly alleviating Hester's suffering. He is honorable, regardless of his own suffering. He has no intention of allowing Hester to live a life of shame.

    He has no intention of truly alleviating Hester's suffering.

    Explanation:

    The excerpt shows that Roger Chillingworth was committed to taking revenge on Hester for some reason, but he decided that the best revenge would be to see Hester suffering for a long time. That's because Hester needs drugs because he has health problems that cause him a lot of pain, Roger Chillingworth should give these drugs to Hester and then take revenge, but he decides that the best revenge is not to give the drugs Hester needs and see him suffer for a long time. From this we can conclude that Roger Chillingworth is not intended of truly alleviating Hester's suffering.
