"The wrongdoing of one generation lives into the successive ones and becomes a pure and uncontrollable mischief." Hawthorne's moral for "The House of the Seven Gables," taken from the Preface, accurately presages his story. The full weight of the gloomy mansion of the title seems to sit on the fortunes of the Pyncheon family. An ancestor took advantage of the Salem witch trials to wrest away the land whereon the house would be raised but the land's owner, about to be executed as a wizard, cursed the Pyncheon family until such time as they should make restitution.
