After reading, I found the character descriptions in chapter 9 very interesting. Chillingworth and Dimmesdale are both described in great detail and their perceptions and images change throughout the chapter. Because Chillingworth gave me the creeps since he first entered the novel, I decided to do a found poem from the end of chapter 9 on him.
Satan's Emissary
Roger Chillingworth was ugly and evil.
The fire in his laboratory
was fed with infernal fuel,
and his visage was sooty.
Reverend
Arthur Dimmesdale: especial sanctity, the Christian world
was haunted by Satan-- old Roger Chillingworth,
the diabolical agent.
Mortal agony, gloom, and terror
in the depths of the battle.
The victory anything but secure!
