As mr. hooper is dying, he rhetorically asks those around him why people turned from him all these years. why does mr. hooper belive people have treated him like this?

1. because they thought he was insane
2. because they hid their own sinful hearts
3. Because they didn't want to talk with him
4. because they were confused

In reading this I feel it was number 2. Am I right?
