CHILLINGWORTH CHARACTERISTICS In Chapter 4 Chillingworth reveals many characteristics of his personality when he talks to Hester in Jail. The first of Chillingworth’s characteristics is being sneaky. In paragraph 13 Chillingworth tells Hester to drink of his medicine and says, “Dost thou know me so little, Hester Prynne?. When Chillingworth says this he is being sneaky by trying to make her feel guilty of not drinking the medicine by telling her that how can she not trust him if he was her husband for so long. By making her feel guilty he is able to make her drink the medicine, also by making her feel guilty he can also make her regret having the child so she can kill it or even herself further on.
Dramatic irony occurs when the reader knows something that one of the characters does not. Such is the case in “The Cask of Amontillado” as the story begins with Montresor stating “The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could; but when he ventured upon insult, I vowed revenge”(510). This statement sets up dramatic irony throughout the story as the reader knows Montresor has sworn revenge on Forunato, while Fortunato believes they are still friends. This irony is evident through the whole story as Montresor pretends to be friends luring Fortunato to his cellar where he would eventually trap and kill him. The irony enhances the brutality of the murder as the reader knows throughout Montresor is planning some revenge while Fortunato believes he is going to sample his friends wine.
This downfall started the path of him becoming a tragic hero. The fact that he knows what he did and that he realizes his mistakes is what makes him a tragic hero. He also confessed to his wife, and the court about Abigail, and how he had committed adultery with her. This was the major action that made him become a tragic hero. Atticus is the main character in To Kill a Mockingbird.
Miner makes subtle comedic reference to the classic stereotype of doctors having atrocious handwriting when he writes, "write them down in an ancient and secret language." He also describes shaving in a way that portrays the act as barbaric and self mutilating, "scraping and lacerating the surface of the face with a sharp instrument." Americans are seen by the author as private and secretive about their bodies and various bodily functions. He makes the observation that when they are in the "Latispoh" (Hospital) they are stripped of all dignity and control of their own bodies. Miner talks about how he finds it illogical for patients to completely trust thaumaturge when they have taken their privacy and may kill them with their treatment.
Roger Chillingworth is a brilliant and revolutionary man who's views on subjects such as medicine are affected by the natives which whom he lived with and alchemy. These ideas, like most aspects of his essence, are frowned upon by the Puritan society. Chillingworth slowly progresses from a middle-aged, wise, physician, to a malignant wraith. Physically, he becomes more bent on the death of those who have wronged him, while at the same time he also becomes more conniving in his thoughts. Chillingworth uses many herbal and alchemical ingredients in his remedies, including those which he gives Hester and Pearl when he first visits them in their confines.

Macbeth quotes, “will it not be received/ When we have mark’d with blood those sleepy two/ Of his own chamber and used their very daggers/ That they have done’t? (1.7.75-79), stating that blood is beginning to literally represent guilt, rather then symbolically. By killing Duncan with the guard’s weapons and then smearing blood all over them, Macbeth is framing them, making them guilty by using Duncan’s blood. This quote also depicts Macbeth’s transition from a morally correct ruler to a corrupt and vicious murderer. Before hearing the witch’s prophecy, he was a virtuous and ethical person, but after hearing that he is destined for kingship, he goes on a murderous rampage to gain political power, completely disregarding his previous decency.
He has been traveling back and forth from France to England and is thought to be a spy. The people in the crowd believe he is guilty and therefore will have to endure the punishment of death. Lucie and Jarvis Lorry are called to the court to testify against him. It is ironic how these two individuals are providing evidence that could doom Darnay when they were the ones who recalled Dr. Manette back to life. The irony grows as Charles Darnay falls in love with Lucie as she offers proof against him.
