1. Chillingworth: Friend or Fiend
I have many fond memories of my early child life, as well as very horrible ones, which I constantly remember and blame myself for it. .
When I was in my third year in college, I became acquainted with a boy named Edgar. We quickly became friends because we sat together at class. On the first look, he looked like the most decent boy that had ever lived He was a school prefect and a very obedient boy, but what he did to me made me regret my decision to get to know him.
One day, as Edgar and I were walking back home from school, he took a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to me. I was stunned with his behavior and I immediately refused. He did not seemed satisfied with my refusal, and he persisted. He said " Come on, Robert, one cigarette won't harm you. Go on, it's a good thing!" I hesitated, and in the end I succumbed to his persistence and took the cigarette. From that moment I smoked my first cigarette, I was addicted to it.
After three months of intensive smoking, I felt my body deteriorating. My breath was constantly stinking, and even my teacher sensed that I was not myself. She asked me whether I was alright. I told her everything was fine and that I was a bit sick. My parents too were concerned about me, as my studies were dropping. I felt that I was betraying my parents, not telling them the truth. At the same time, I felt completely helpless, even though so many were offering me help. I wanted to quit smoking, but each time I thought about it, the more I smoked.
One day, Edgar stopped supplying me free packets of cigarettes. He wanted me to pay for the cigarettes he had given me. He even threatened me that if I did not pay; he would beat me up. I was forced to pay him back, with my own money. .
On another occasion, Edgar took me to a pub and made me drink a lot of beer. I refused. However, he could not accept my refusal, and he forced the beer down my throat. I choked and spitted out the beer.

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him." (Buddha) This is a perfect quote to explain what happened to Roger Chillingworth throughout the book "The Scarlet Letter". The more evilness he allowed to consume him, the more pain he felt with his body, mind and spirit. I believe Roger Chillingworth to be one of the most hated characters but also one of the most interesting characters in this book. Roger Chillingworth sym...
