Sin and Virtue: What role does religion play in life

It is not surprising for an author’s background and surroundings to profoundly affect
his writing. Having come from a Methodist lineage and living
       at a time when the church was still an influential facet in people’s daily lives, Stephen
Crane was deeply instilled with religious dogmas. However,
       fear of retribution soon turned to cynicism and criticism of his idealistic parents’ God,
"the wrathful Jehovah of the Old Testament", as he was
       confronted with the harsh realities of war as a journalistic correspondent. Making
extensive use of religious metaphors and allusions in The Blue
       Hotel (1898), Crane thus explores the interlaced themes of the sin and virtue.
Ironically, although "he disbelieved it and hated it," Crane simply
       "could not free himself from" the religious background that haunted his entire life. His
father, a well-respected reverend in New Jersey, advocated
       Bible reading and preached "the right way." Similarly, his mother, who "lived in and
for religion,"
