Why does Hester hate Chillingworth? In Chapter 15.

Hester saw Chillingworth as a demon..... evil. She was suspicious of his every move and frightened of what he might do next. She hates him because he betrayed her..... he's left her on her own and returned to jusdge her.

"Yes, I hate him!" repeated Hester more bitterly than before. "He betrayed me! He has done me worse wrong than I did him!"

Because of his disappearance, she was left alone, but she feels he has returned only to judge her.

"Yes, I hate him!" repeated Hester more bitterly than before. "He betrayed me! He has done me worse wrong than I did him!"
