Hester has changed because she seems to have lost her beauty and her passion and seems to have begun to conform to her society, in order to show she has been learning from her sin, though she does not regret it still, and wants a peaceful and untroubling life. The real evil in the story at this point would have to be Chillingworth because all he wants is to out Dimmesdale on his secret with Hester and he won't stop until he's revealed everything.
