Chillingworth sets out to torture Dimmesdale and get his own revenge. His actions are premeditative and precise, looking only for his own personal vengeance. Hawthorne labels him as the worst sinner because of the selfish, harmful motives behind his actions. Even though Dimmesdale and Hester committed sin in the eyes of society, theirs was a sin of passion and love. This is why Hawthorne labels Chillingworth as the worst sinner.
