Teaching it in an elective class will expose very few students to its lessons because very few will opt for the class. Refraining from teaching it will expose no students to them.

The story describes the traveler “a great black snake, so curiously wrought that it might almost be seen to twist and wiggle itself like a living serpent” (Hawthorne 323). This stems from a Biblical representation that a serpent is a evil demon. As they travel through the streets of Salem they enter into a dark forest, which provides most of the setting for the story.
