-
B.
Governor Bellingham
-
C.
Mister Hibbins
-
D.
Roger Chillingworth
Correct Answer:
D. Roger Chillingworth
Explanation:
The correct answer is Roger Chillingworth. In Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel The Scarlet Letter, Roger Chillingworth is the scholarly husband of Hester Prynne who arrives in Boston to find her publicly shamed for adultery. Unlike Arthur Dimmesdale, who is the secret father of her child, Chillingworth assumes a false identity to seek revenge against the man who wronged him. Therefore, Chillingworth is the legal husband of the protagonist.
