Explanation:

Nathaniel Hawthorne's Gothic novel "The House of the Seven Gables" tells the story of two families' lives, their enmity and the supernatural ways of deaths of the Pyncheon family members.

In the novel, Colonel Pyncheon had built a house on the land owned by Matthew Maule. The colonel had gotten Matthew killed on charges of witchcraft and had taken the land, making it his own. On the day of the housewarming party, the colonel was found dead n his armchair. Some legends say that Matthew had put a curse on the Pyncheon family for the witchcraft accusation. Eventually, another member of the Pyncheon family would again die on the same armchair. The story ends with the character of Holgrave forgiving the remaining Pyncheon family members and everything becoming peacefl in the end.
