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

always what they seem. I say this because the
people who attended the devil's meetings, were the
ones who atte...

years of experience, I totally agree with his
statement that all human beings have an inborn
desire of God, whether one is consciously
religious or not. Some people repress this desire
by intentionally or inadvertently hiding it among
the many other interest of life. I have noticed

modern-day witch hunt, or the prosecution of
people accused without proper cause, who are
forced to conform to society to avoid public
denunciation. The Crucible is based on one of the
strangest and most dreadful events in American
history, the Salem witch trials of 1692. During
this time many innocent people were put to death.
