The themes Edwards presents can't be simplified to just one word. For example, Edwards explores through the theme that sin brings people closer to Hell and further from God. This is very true, regardless of which century you are from. Sin leads to destruction in soul, meaning you are more stained by sin, again, which leads you further away from God. On page 88 of the 11th grade literature book, Edwards states, "Your wickedness makes you as it were heavy as lead, and to tend downwards with great weight and pressure towards Hell," which implies that sin brings you closer to Hell than it does to God.
