"Nothing was more remarkable than the change which took place, almost immediately after Mr. Dimmesdale's death, in the appearance and demeanour of the old man known as Roger Chillingworth. All his strength and energy, all his vital and intellectual force, seemed at once to desert him, insomuch that he positively withered up, shrivelled away and almost vanished from mortal sight, like an uprooted weed that lies wilting in the sun."
R.C. lived with the torture. He is the devil, and his life was based upon being mean to D. Now that his victim his gone, nothing can keep him alive. And the comparison with the sun shows us how C. IS the darkness. the sun kills him. he's a vampireeeeee!!!
Yes - Dimmesdale is a vampire, think of the idea of leech.
