Young Goodman Brown Side By Side
1,099 words
"Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a
story about revealing true evil and the loss of
one man's faith. Nathaniel Hawthorne left "Young
Goodman Brown" up for many interpretations. After
reading the story a couple of times, one thing
became clear to me. What I absorbed from this
story was that evil exists in everyone, does not
matter how good we may think we are. Things aren't
always what they seem. I say this because the
people who attended the devil's meetings, were the
ones who atte...

Ministers Black Veil Masque Of The Red Death
1,202 words
Parable: A short allegorical story designed to
convey some truth, religious principle, or moral
lesson (Merriam Websters Collegiate Dictionary,
Tenth Edition). An author will often make a
statement advising the audience to read in a
manner suited for a parable to ensure the lesson
is not overlooked. Hawthorne does this in The
Ministers Black Veil by deeming his story A
Parable in the subtitle. Poe states in his
Philosophy of Composition that he writes tales
with an under-current (Poe, p. 491) or...

Lewis Life And Influence In Alice Wonderland
1,106 words
Of all of Lewis Carroll's works, Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland has a unique standing in
the category of whimsical, nonsense literature.
Much has been written about how this novel
contrasts with the vast amount of strict,
extremely moralistic childrens literature of the
Victorian time Lewis Carroll lived in. Yet, as odd
as this novel appears in relation to the other
Victorian childrens stories, this short novel is
odder because it was written by an extremely
upright, ultra conservative man; a ...

Divine Revelation Ethical Conduct
1,155 words
The emergence of the Transcendentalists as an
identifiable movement took place during the late
1820 s and 1830 s, but the roots of their
religious philosophy extended much farther back
into American religious history. Transcendentalism
and evangelical Protestantism followed separate
evolutionary branches from American Puritanism,
taking as their common ancestor the Calvinism of
the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In
exploring their respective departures from
Calvinism we can begin to map o...

Puritan Religion Black Veil
1,362 words
Pure Criticism In Hawthorne's short story The
Ministers Black Veil, the extent to which the
Puritan parson repents for his sin is a direct
critique of the Puritan religion by Hawthorne.
Through his writing, Hawthorne portrays a belief
that the Puritan religion is one of an excessive
and almost absurd nature. Although all religions
have their seemingly irrational and superfluous
rituals, the dogma of the seventeenth century
Puritan religion was rigid and sometimes outright
bizarre. The church set...

Hester And Dimmesdale Sin Of Adultery
1,205 words
The Scarlet Letter The Scarlet Letter, by
Nathaniel Hawthorne, is a dark tale of sin and
redemption centered on a small Puritan community.
The setting may be approached in two ways in the
Scarlet Letter. One way is to look at the meaning
or emotional overtones of specific places. A
second and broader example is to examine the whole
Puritan world in which Hawthorne has set this
novel. The setting is in Boston, Massachusetts in
the 1640 s. The central themes of this novel are
guilt and hypocrisy. ...

creatures. They can sense almost any emotion an
adult might feel just by observing a particular
person? s body language and facial expressions.
Such is the case with the youthful Pearl from the
novel The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorn.
As the daughter of the adulteress Hester Prynne,
the townspeople view Pearl as a demon in an angel?

what the letter A signifies on the breast of her
mother, but a...

Symbolism, simply defined, is when one thing, a
person or an object for example, is used in place
of another, sometimes used as foreshadowing.
Hawthorne was a master of symbolism, throughout
his books, strong symbolism and vivid imagery are
used to take the readers mind through a maze of
thought provoking, heart wrenching realism, in
which the reader actually feels part of. Many
examples of symbolism can be found throughout
Nathaniel Hawthorne s The Scarlet Letter. One of
