Answer 1

I have not read The Scarlet Letter, but there are a number of on line study guides, and quite a few other resources on the Internet that can help you with this novel.  Most of them have good information.  Have a look at these sites, and you should get some help with your work.  If you do a search here in the Yahoo Answers search window you will find additional help because hundreds of questions have been asked here about The Scarlet Letter.

Answer 2

Chillingworth: becomes wicked and "the image of the devil" in his revenge on Dimmesdale

Dimmesdale: starts destructive habbits and gets ill (hand over heart) because the guilt of his sin is eating away at him

Pearl: Of course she grows up throught the book, and also she becomes wiser with age. She used to be the little elf child who was bad, but then she grew up.
