One of my favorite is the study of the nature of sin in, The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne. It contrasts the adulteress, Hester Prynne (who has to wear the scarlet A for, “Adulteress,”) with her husband who commits the greater sin. I love Hawthorne’s use of names as well. “Pearl,” as the daughter born of the affair, standing for beauty and value, as well as her lover, Dinsmore, sounding weak and in the shadows, who refuses to accept his responsibility in his role in the affair and as the father of Pearl.

Great book. Horrible movie.

I agree with g I loved the Scarlett Letter.But if you want to cover a majority of moral issues read the bible (King James version) Also the Bronte sisters A lot of your victorian authors also covered the moral issues.
