The quote: "Hast thou not tortured him enough?" said Hester, noticing the old man's look. "Has he not paid thee all?" This quote struck me, because Hester is defending the Revered up against Roger Chillingworth. The Reverend has suffered the melancholy that Roger had thrust upon him. Roger, being Hester's husband, he made the Reverend's life a misery. Hester, after all these years, can't take his suffering anymore, and pleads for Roger to stop. (Pg. 179)
The quote: "Be it sin or no," said Hester Prynne, bitterly, as she still gazed, "I hate the man!" This quote struck me. It struck me, because Hester stated that whether it be sin or not, she hated Roger. Roger made the Reverend's life misery, so she hated Roger. Roger was determined to get his revenge on the Reverend for committing adultery with his wife. He devised a plan to have the secret in the Reverend's heart, eat it's way out into the open. These are the reasons why Hester hates Roger. (Pg. 183)
