Sin is defined in Webster's New World Dictionary as, "any offense, fault, or the willful breaking of religious or moral law." Mankind is prone to some degree of sin: it is a barrier that can not be avoided. But it is a question as to what mankind can do in order to achieve redemption from sinister ways, and also how to redeem. However great a sin may seem, it can only augment itself by the perpetrator not owning up and taking responsibility for it.

The events help us to understand how Hawthorne used criticism and duality to prove a point in this story, the point being that people sin and make mistakes, even in such a strict and religious society as the Puritans had long ago. Sin is a constant in society, and that perhaps will never change.

At first, to my surprise, he is preoccupied with practical, everyday concerns: How to get...

The Epilogue of the Tempest by William Shakespeare is an excellent-if not the best-example of Shakespeare"s brilliance. In 20 lines Shakespeare is able to write an excellent ending to his play, while speaking through his characters about Shakespeare"s own life and career.
