Hawthorne And Sin, Lyndia O'Dell Jan 1965

Hawthorne And Sin, Lyndia O'Dell

Student Scholarship

This paper analyzes Nathaniel Hawthorne's complex treatment of sin, arguing that his views significantly diverged from the rigid doctrines of his Puritan ancestors. While the Puritans believed in the inherent guilt of all mankind through Adam, Hawthorne maintained that sin is not inherited but must be consciously committed by an individual to incur guilt.
