This chapter is where Hester and her husband which we now know is addressed as
Roger Chillingworth come face to face for the first time. They meet within
Hester's jail cell when he is called to administer medical aid to Hester and the
baby. During this Roger also questioned her on subject of the man who fathered
her child. When she refused to answer him as well he vowed to find out, so he
could exact his revenge. In this chapter we really saw another side of Roger, we
saw that he is a devious man with a stone heart. Hester also appeared faithful
and honest as she kept her word.
