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...

Lewis Life And Influence In Alice Wonderland
1,106 wordsOf 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 ...

Puritan Religion Black Veil
1,362 wordsPure 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...
