What are two ways Chillingworth is viewed in the town? Explain both.

Initially the doctor is seen as a learned man but people are suspicious of a man who came from Indian country. As the book goes on, Chillingworth becomes bitter and wilted. The town sees him without the veneer of mystery. He becomes very evil looking. The term leach certainly could have to do with a medical practice using leeches. I think Chillingworth is a leech himself. He leeches the life out of Dimmesdale slowly.
