  The House of the Seven Gables was intended to be a sunnier book and one that would illustrate 'the folly' of tumbling down on posterity 'an avalanche of ill-gotten gold, or real estate'. Many critics have faulted the novel for its explaining away of hereditary guilt. This book instructs the reader in a fresh appreciation of the novel.
