"Twice-Told Tales" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a collection of short stories created in the early 1800s that mixes history with morals and philosophy, often focusing on sin, guilt, and the chance for people to get better. One story tells of when colonists in New England struggled against oppression, and an old hero appears, giving hope for freedom, mixing history with a touch of the supernatural. Another story looks at love and loss through a widow's marriage and the ghost of her past. These stories demonstrate Hawthorne's skill in examining people's feelings and the rules of society.
