Throughout the novel, the Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne criticized the Puritans' moral upstanding. He criticized their moral upstanding because it was kind of messed up. They were expected to be 'perfect' and not sin; in reality, nobody can go without sinning their whole life-everybody sins at least once in their life. However, Puritans were expected not to. If the Puritans were to sin, they would either get in trouble or live with the guilt of their sin eating them from the inside, out. The mess up part about their religion is that it lacked confession. So, if they were to have a big secret or sin, they would have to keep it to themselves. ~Tajza Hodges
