Asked by Wiki User

Chillingworth's transformation into evil can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, his obsession with seeking revenge against Dimmesdale for his perceived betrayal consumed him, driving him to commit malicious acts. Secondly, his isolation and seclusion from society allowed his resentment and hatred to fester unchecked. Lastly, his deep knowledge of medicine and intellect enabled him to manipulate and torment Dimmesdale, fueling his sinister intentions.
