17 chapter
"Dost thou not see what I would say? That old man!... the physician!... he whom they call Roger Chillingworth!... he was my husband!"
the fact that Hester has the strenght to tell A. that R.C. is her husband is another demonstration of how Hester is stronger compared to her lover. She didn't have to tell A.D. that he was her husband, but she's pure and honest and her soul is actually "clean" cause she has no secrets now.
Yes - Hester is much stronger than A.D. and R.C.
