Dubus uses the love triangle between Frank, Mary Ann, and Richard to create the idea that love can be a factor in moral blindness. Frank is the first to give in to the idea of moral blindness by sleeping with a married woman, Mary Ann. Mary Ann can also be held accountable for this act, knowing that her divorce hasn’t been processed yet, along with knowing that Richard isn’t the type of person to let something like this occur. The fact that both Frank and Mary Ann overlook the bonds of a marriage shows that they are morally blind. Richard’s act was
Whether Dimmesdale decided to reveal his deep dark hidden secret or not, merely has no significance. As Puritan Society stated, women were more prone to be sinners; the envisioned picture of me was already painted as the corrupter. Is that moral? Would God find this acceptable because the Puritan Society apparently does. If Dimmesdale had came forth, it might have saved him from the mental and physical deterioration but would the Puritan Society had honestly punished him the way I had been?
Pitt’s character also reveals that a society that attempts to repress homosexuality is harmful to both itself and the community of homosexuals. Had Joe been at ease with his sexuality, he would not have married Harper and she would in turn be spared the many years of torture. Perhaps they would have become good allies or even great ones at that. But pressure from society forced them into a torturous life of abjuration (Galens et al., 197). Harper Amaty Pitt starts off as Joe’s valium-addicted, sociopathic wife.
If you are a person who can read people you might have been saved the experience that Mrs. Culhane went through. After clearing his son’s name of the crime, she tried to offer him less money, which is something you just don’t do when dealing with Mr. Ehrengraf.

By sinning and keeping it secret, he was breaking two of God's most important laws: Do not commit adultery, and do not lie. Lying not only caused Dimmesdale emotional pain, but it also appeared physically. He became weak and frail, barely able to hold his head high. Roger Chillingworth had been Hester's previous husband, before he sent her ahead to America. When he learned of Hester's betrayal, he was furious.
These two characters are often involved in the same conflicts, but are totally unaligned in how they behave as a result. The legal conflict which Nader faces over the death of Razieh’s foetus makes him invest in the idea of clearing his name through the courts. In contrast, Simin fears for Termeh’s safety, and for what the courts might find, and encourages Nader to pay the blood money. For him, paying the blood money is admitting fault, and his pride drives him to refuse. For Simin, bringing an end to the conflict promptly is more important than fighting for truth or fairness.
