"The power of mind"

The quote I chose is on page 112 beginning "At first, his expression had been calm...." and ending "...the oftener they looked upon him."

It's a very short passage that describes how Roger Chillingworth's aspect has changed.

He's looking for Hester's lover, he wants to find him. He's determined and wants to take revenge. He suspects of Mr. Dimmensdale all along, and that's why he manages to become is physician and be as close to him as possible. They become friends and move in together.

I think it's really interesting how such strong feelings like rage and determination can influence a person's behavior, a person's actions and even a person's look. "The power of mind", "the mind controls the body"...I think it's absolutely true.

We're completely overwhelmed by our mind, all the time, non-stop.
