In Chapter 4 of The Scarlet Letter, which character traits of Hester Prynne and Roger Chillingworth does Hawthorne reveal as he develops their secret bond?

In Chapter 4, Hester is afraid of Chillingworth, especially when he makes her take his medicine and asks who the father of her child is. Chillingworth acts cunningly: he conceals his identity from others and persuades Hester to keep their past relationship secret. Hawthorne therefore reveals Hester’s fear and Roger’s cunningness.
