For an essay for my honors English class, I am comparing the character of Roger Chillingworth to a knife. While I do have some ideas to write about, do you guys have any tips on ideas I could use? More importantly, to those who have read the book, what type of knife do you think I should discuss? I'm thinking like a standard kitchen knife to discuss themes of original purpose and such. Any help regarding this would be much appreciated
