We live in a society full of horrible things everywhere we turn. In order not to come into contact with these things we would have to live far from the media and separate ourselves almost completely from society. These horrible things are often called sins. Sins are actions that are deemed highly reprehensible and are also considered to be against the will of God. Many actions can be considered sins, but there are seven that are particularly important. These seven sins are lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, anger, envy and pride. They are infamous for being called the seven deadly sins. A wide variety of works include these sins to show society how wrong they truly are. One work in particular is “Dr. Heidegger's Experiment” by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Hawthorne's characters in “Dr. Heidegger's Experiment” all exhibit one or more of the seven sins in one way or another. Hawthorne believed that man was becoming condemnable; therefore, he used his characters to represent this. Hawthorne's interpretation of humans is entirely true because the seven deadly sins appear everywhere in our society. If one were to watch television or use the Internet, one would almost certainly discover one of these particular seven sins in a very short space of time. This is exactly what I found to be true while doing a task to find examples of the seven deadly sins for three days. Lust is the first of these so-called deadly sins. He is described as suffering from sexual perversion and may also be characterized by an excessive desire for bodily pleasures. Lust is a mortal sin that is a common topic in many tabloids. Celebrities tend to have many incidents where they commit the sin of lust. One of these cases is Justin... in the center of the card... he-is-even-more-lazy-and-indolent/>.
