At the beginning of the novel, Roger Chllingworth was "small in stature, with furrowed visage, which, as yet, could hardly be termed aged". He was a slightly deformed man with one of his shoulders being higher than the other one. Even though, he always appeared to be well dressed, he was far from attractive. He had a wrinkled face with a look of calm intelligence, and his eyes were dim and bleared, testifying to long hours of study under lamplight. When he became obsessed with the idea of revenge, Chillingworth turned from "a wise and just man to a fiend", causing his already deformed shoulders to twist into an even grosser state of irregularity, his face all wrinkled and withered, and his eyes burned with hellish determination to destroy the young reverend, by pushing him deeper and deeper into self loathing and despair.
