Chapters: 9-12
Lens: Reader Response
Prompt: Responding and Reflecting
Yup. Doin another responding and reflecting prompt. Cuz it's so much easier when the prompt aligns with the lens. Chapter 9-12. Let's do dis.
Chapters 9-12 seem to be pretty focused on Chillingsworth, so I guess we'll focus on him as well. Chillingsworth is Hester's husband, whom she cheated on. He was a pretty cool guy back in the day. Learned medicine. Hung out with Native Americans. Liked to read the occasional book. Pretty... chill *chuckle*. Well after he heard that Hester cheated on him, he came to the town she lived in, and decided to try and figure out who it was with so he could get revenge. He eventually finds the right person... the other reverend guy. From there, he decides to take out his revenge on him by asking him questions of morality or something. Strange, if you ask me. Nowadays, guys will just fight the guy they found their wife cheating with. But I digress. Hmm. What does digress even mean? I'll go google it.
But the dictionary says that digress, a verb, means "to stray off of something, to wander from a path, or to turn aside, etc.". So when I say "blah blah blah, but I digress", it's like I'm saying "blah blah blah, but I stray off topic."
Yeah, that. Anyway, Chillingsworth went from a chill guy to a cold guy. As in cold hearted. Hehe. The puns are strong with this one. So yeah. Moral of the story is that if your wife cheats on you, don't be a jerk about it. Just fight it out, then leave it be. Dragging things on isn't a good idea. Cuz then you end up looking like a moose.
