the scarlet letter, symbol 26

Chapter 10

"Sometimes, a light glimmered out of the physician’s eyes, burning blue and ominous, like the reflection of a furnace, or, let us say, like one of those gleams of ghastly fire that darted from Bunyan’s awful door-way in the hill-side, and quivered on the pilgrim’s face. The soil where this dark miner was working had perchance shown indications that encouraged him." People could now see that Roger Chillingworth was not to be trusted. They describe his eyes as burning flames, or more interesting, the light that shined on a Pilgrim's face from Bunyan's awful door-way in the hill-side. The hillside doorway is the gates to Hell, which gives me a picture of Chillingworth as a terrible man, with black scary eyes. Just as he was mentioned as Satan, the door-way in the hill-side is his way. It's the way he wants Mr. Dimmesdale to go.
