Hawthorne also places Mr. Hooper in the small town of Salem, the town where he was born.

The results of his sin are paralleled in Hawthorne’s novel The Scarlet Letter; the Puritan minister Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale commits the sin of adultery, yet continues to live his life in a position of revered holiness.
