Glass Menagerie Coping with Sin The first mention of sin in the bible is mentioned in the fifth chapter of Romans, written by Paul. “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” (Rom. 5:12). According to Paul, humanity was cursed because Adam sinned when he ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Since the creation of Adam, all is guilty of sin. Every living soul will have to face judgment on the second coming of Christ, and not everyone handles sin in the same manner. Lucky for us all we have a loving and forgiving father. A fictional story titled The Minister’s Black Veil was written by Nathaniel Hawthorne and published in the year 1836. Mr. Hawthorne illustrates how a clergyman deals with his guilt of sin. This remarkable story features a main character, Reverend Hooper, who is deemed a mysterious man because he wears a black veil to conceal his sin(s) from others until his death. Reverend Hooper was a good preacher because his veiled face was of a physical symbol for his veil, hooper, sin, mr, face, reverend, parishioners, inability, one, elizabeth, because, time, physical, man, hooper’s, good, black, way, upon, times, thought, terrible, sins, people, others, hiding, death, before, been, appeared, written, world, within, story, soul
