Scarlet Letter D.J. # 8 - Chapter 4: Part 2.

"I see no vengeance, plot no evil against thee." I personally don't think Roger is telling the truth, there is obviously something about him that makes Hester un-easy. The question is, why is he so desperate to find the man that got Hester pregnant if he does not want revenge? He seems to be a very smart man, so i think that he has a plan to get revenge on the man and ignore the deal with Hester. You can tell he once loved Hester and he is jealous of the man who got her pregnant. In the previous chapter Hester's husband mentioned that, "the man who was married to the women was a fool to think that he could keep a young woman happy", so maybe that's why he is upset, that he couldn't keep his young woman happy and now he is mad that someone could.

  1. He wants revenge but not against Hester (through he might not see that revenge against someone Hester loves is revenge against her). What makes you think he is lying? Look for the tone here. Also look at what is stated earlier by Chillingworth.
