Chapter 9
"To sum up the matter, it grew to be a widely diffused opinion, that the Reverend Arthur Dimmesdale, like many other personages of especial sanctity, in all ages of the Christian world, was haunted either by Satan himself, or Satan’s emissary, in the guise of old Roger Chillingworth." People did never really like Roger Chillingworth because he was very strange, but they believed that he was a good doctor so they accepted him. Now that Mr. Dimmesdale moved in with him to be healed, but he doesn't, people start to look at Roger Chillingworth as Satan. Satan is the chief of evilness. I think people sees him as Satan himself or Satan's messenger because Mr. Dimmesdale only gets worse after moving in with Roger Chillingworth.

Okay. So the town sees Chillingsworth as Satan. Why do they let him stay? What battle do they see the minister fighting?
