Conformity, perhaps the most cumbersome of all
social pressures, appears many times throughout
Literature. For instance, in Nathaniel Hawthorne s
Young Goodman Brown, the element of conformity
appears, as an excuse for the main character to
engage in conduct that he realizes is wrong. In
Shirley Jackson s The Lottery, conformity appears
in a very different aspect. In this story, we
venture into a seemingly average village to learn
how the pressure to conform can be so powerful
