Chapter 9
Roger Chillingworth is mentioned as the leech. Before a docter was called a leech, but it is also a worm with suckers on both ends. I think the society looks at him as the "doctor-leech", because ever since he came he has been acting as a nice but strange man just trying to help, and he presents himself as a doctor(and wants to be looked at as a doctor). What he really is, is the worm trying to suck all information he can get to find out who Pearl's father really is.

Not just suck out information - suck out the soul of an individual. Remember back in this time blood was sucked out because it was thought to be polluted by disease, but also the soul/life force was in the blood.
