The setting of the work can be made into the most powerful literary work that is used in his work by writers. The setting refers to the place or time at which the work is set. There are many possibilities in the environment. The setting of the work can be as simple as a single room, or it can be complicated like the author's or mental state of the character. Authors can use the settings to improve the theme of the work. One author is especially Nathaniel Hawthorne. Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote "Young Goodman Brown" in 1835. His time influenced the theme of his work.
According to scholar Jane Eberwein, the story is one of the voters who lost faith in Brown. Believing that he became a voter, Goodman Brown lost confidence after three months' marriage. A trip to his forest symbolizes Christian's "self-quest". There the doubt instantly replaces the faith. At the end of the forest experience, he lost his wife's faith, belief in salvation, and belief in human good.
A similar interpretation of the story centers around the similarities between the collapse of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and the collapse of Brown and Faith. The devil carries a snake with snakes on it and reminds the snake to order Adam and Eve to taste the forbidden fruit tree. Adam and Eve lost their innocence after chasing the devil for curiosity and sin. Likewise, Goodman Brown went to the party watching the demons with other famous community members. Despite curiosity and the charm of the devil, he challenged the forest yet, despite warning of faith, as he ignored God's command to avoid fruit that Eve forbade. Brown is aware that polluting his faith and relationship with everyone in the city, "evil is the essence of human beings".
Goodman Brown is a fantasy (that is, it is misunderstood by the devil, he is morally tired of corruption) and those who believe they are shaking: That person is a reality . Therefore, for the reader who has the initial perspective, he summons "acquaintance" or "image" of Brown's acquaintance. Even the belief of a person Brown 's pink ribbon is only to grasp the branch after the talker flies gently in the air. In this view, (1) the fact that the belief wears a ribbon later proves that Brown is succumb to the delusion, and (2) Brown browns by reviewing the objective perception of the narrator To judge
