It is human to have pride in oneself, but having too much pride is unhealthy and will cause problems somewhere along the way. Two characters who show a harmful amount of pride are Sylvia from Toni Bambara’s “The Lesson” and Sammy John Updike’s “A&P”. A famous quotation states “Pride (arrogance) comes before Destruction... and a haughty spirit, before a fall.”
Lewis described pride as self-conceit and the opposite of humility, which seems like a reasonable definition (Lewis 121). Pride, not to be confused with an excess of self-esteem, is the greatest vice. Self-esteem is a personal evaluation of the self-concept, where a high self-esteem can be held by an array of moralities. A person do practices charity regularly may have a high self-esteem, but so may a bully. Both a truly humble person and a truly prideful person may have a high self-esteem, but the security of the esteem is drastically different.

“ We magnify the flaws in others that we secretly see in ourselves” -Baylor Barbee.

The main character in “The Minister’s Black Veil”, Mr. Hooper represents how everyone carries a sin with them but some choose to acknowledge it, while others choose to hide them. People may live for long periods of time and say that they are “free of sins”. The truth is everyone carries a sin with them, they just choose to not acknowledge it. This world is filled with people with sins, they may be horrible, while others are not so significant, and others are shared. When people tell their sins to the world everyone looks at them like if they are the devil themselves, or if one did have a sin everyone tries to figure out what that sin is, forgetting that them, themselves also carry sins, but it is much easier to acknowledge others sins.
Mr. Worldly Wise's urge for Christian was unsuccessful, because Christian is not supposed to settle for the good; he aims for the best.
