The Scarlet Letter : "The Interview"

In the beginning of the chapter, Hawthorne writes about a jailer who actually sympathize Hester and especially her suffering infant. He calls in a practitioner that can help the two with medicines and herbs.The jailer wanted Satan out of Hester because of her odd appearance after her standing trial in the scaffold. A man by the name of Roger Willingworth came in and asked to be alone with Hester in order to get her to confess. Roger and Hester shows actions that give away the true identity of Roger himself. Roger is actually Hester's true husband and the white man who dressed up as a Native American in the crowd during Hester's trial. I am very surprised that Hester chose to drink his medicine because he could've poison her and makes her suffer for her sin. However, like a caring husband he is, Roger gave her a drink that actually mends her "illness," and decided to let her live in order for him to figure out who is the father of Pearl. I sense a major jealousy and great problems coming up in the plot of the story.
