Nathanial Hawthorne

Nathanial Hawthorne was opposed to the transcentalist philosphy because he was well aware of the evil in the world and the decisions that can be made. His grandfather had killed people in a senseless fashion which he was "embarressed" by showing that he knew that original sin existed in some form or another since people were able to commit evil like this so needlessly.
