Dimsdale and Chillingworth

Throughout this book i have grown to hate Dimsdale and Roger Chillingworth. They are both like little emo old men who just complain about everything and never have anything positive to say. Dimsdale is such a whinny, pussy. He obviously isn't a real man because he dosent have the guts to reveal his secret. I hate liars and that is what Dimsdale is. Living i lie is what is tearing him away so why dosent he just tell it to everyone!!!! I mean i understand that he is a minister and he wants to keep his position. But all in all when you do something like that you have to tell for the sanity of yourself and other people. On the other hand, Roger Chillingworth is extremely corrupt and selfish. If he wasn't purposely torturing Dimsdale, then he would be an alright guy. What is more humanly corrupt then torturing someone for your own pleasure and revenge? Not to mention he is very creepy and almost devilish. Both Dimsdale and Chillingworth are tearing away at their own life's. And overall i can not stand either of them because they seem like every other depressed, whinny, sexist and "hopeless" man in this world!

  1. This blog post made me laugh so hard, I started crying. I really like your word use, how it's casual, but you succeed in getting your point across. This was comedic, and had a great point!

  2. "Little emo men"--Ha! Fun to see you rip on these two. Given that some readers consider this a 'proto-feminist' novel, maybe it makes sense to have its men be such creeps (though wait and see what happens in the end!). Good post.
