文摘
Hawthorne showed his mastery of history and tradition of the region he lived in. Most of his characters and settings are puritan and he deals a lot with witchcraft, the Puritan persecution of Quakers, and the theocratic society in his works. However, the Puritan religion has its influence on him in turn. Puritan doctrine taught that all men are totally depraved because man had broken the Covenant of Works when Adam had eaten from the Tree of Knowledge, and God offered a new covenant to Abraham's people which held that election to Heaven was merely a possibility. In the Puritan religion, believers recognized the negative aspects of the4r humanity rather than the gifts they possessed.
Hawthorne wrote over a hundred stories, essays and sketches, among which The Scarlet Letter was undoubtedly the first great American novel. However, he was also well known for his short stories. "Young Goodman Brown" was one of the best.
"Young Goodman Brown" is the dream experience of Goodman Brown who is, young, innocent and, as his name suggests, an average man. He leaves his wife, Faith, to meet with somebody in the forest, who was hinted to be the Devil, and the journey is to join in an unspecified but unholy ritual. As they proceed, Goodman meets an oJd woman named Goody Cloyse. He recognizes her as a teacher and a spiritual guide but begins to realize she is part of the evil that surrounds him. The same is true with Deacon Gookin and the Minister and Goodman realizes that these men are both in league with evil. Therefore, he hesitates and then is determined to go back. However, as he moves out of the darkness, he hears his wife's voice, and a pink ribbon blows down next to him and he sees that Faith, his wife, is part of the "communion" that is taking place in the woods.
