I've also heard rumors about Dimmesdale, and a few ladies around town have been saying that his behavior has been quite strange as of late. Someone even saw him torturing himself with a whip a few days ago, and Hester's daughter saw him with the "Black Man", who I must think is the presence of the devil himself. I will admit that I fear for our poor minister's sanity, but we must have constant faith in disciples of the Lord that have chosen to teach his word. I worry that there is a presence of sin in our community, and there has been ever since Hester's child was born into adultery, and I fear that it may be affecting the townspeople. When our minister begins to be overcome with insanity and fits of poor heath, which many believe is the work of sin, there must be something amiss in our humble community.
There has been a lot of talk around town surrounding our dear minister, Arthur Dimmesdale, and his horrible state of health. It is so fortunate that Mr. Chillingworth has come to Boston, because I fear that Dimmesdale would not be living without him! He does seem like quite a strange man, and so little is known of him and his past. I was wary of Chillingworth upon his first arrival in our town, but I think he has vastly proved his goodness and purity of heart with all the good work he has been doing.

Mr.Chilingsworth is a shady man. I have always believed so and now from the chatter of this "black man", we can see the trouble and evil Mr.Chilingsworth has brought. How do we know his intentions are real and purely good? Nobody truly knows who he is and where he came from. Why would we blame a young girl, Pearl for any trouble. She is young and innocent and should not be held responsible or seen differently because of her mom. As for our dear Minister, it is our job to find out what is possessing him. If anything is possessing him at all of course! Who really knows if the devil is among us or if these men are just as foolish as the young girls crying which all the time! If anything is true out of all this it is that Salem is crazy and our town is soon to be mad as well. Our minister is a human just as we all our and he has to have a reason for his actions, someone needs to ask the minister so all this nonsense can stop. The lord is good and has control over us all, he will make things right.

I agree with you Shannon, he has been a greta man in our community helping others, especially Pearl who is a troubled little girl. It seems as though he just appeared in our community which is very confusing to me, but i am not complaining, since he is doing such a great job in our community helping others in need.

I also really appreciate what Mr. Chillingworth has done for this community! Without a man like him here everything would be a disaster. I have been very curious as to where he came from, and what reasons he came to join our little community, but I'm grateful grateful that he came here to help us, it really shows how great his heart is. He has been helping us when we have been having difficulties with having Pearl in this town, there is something wrong with her, and things have just been on edge since she came into the world through adultery. I'm scared that as long as she is in the town all the townspeople are going to be affected in some way.

I also agree with you Shannon. Robert Chillingworth is a great man for helping all those in Boston. He is quite shady but that is all okay as long as he keeps helping the community. I do think he needs to be careful though because if he acts suspicious then the rest of the people in the town will begin to think that he might be a witch. If that were to happen then he would be in big trouble.
