"This is an old-fashioned old-fashioned room, decorated with a web of spider webs, with dust of antique ..." In this sentence, a physical friend of a friend wrinkled with four old friends It represents a feature. The dark and damp atmosphere of the study reflects their depressed personality. One of the themes discovered by Dr. Heidegger's experiment is that even if a person gains a second life's opportunity, that action can not be changed.
There may be clues to Hawthorn's own family history. Like Goodman Brown, Hawthorn was born and raised in Salem, Massachusetts. Nathaniel Hawthorne was a descendant of John Hawthorne and hosted a notorious witch trial. Two fallen women, Goodies Cloyse and Cory, mentioned in the story were sent to do magic during that time.

Whether Nathaniel Hawthorne's ancestor played a role in his novel "Red Letter" is a big argument.

Another Hawthorn's ancestor helped Major William Hawthorne to help persecute the Quaker.
Nathaniel Hawthorn born in Salem, Massachusetts. At the age of four, his father left yellow fever and forced his family to move with his uncle. The positive influence of his uncle Robert Manning promoted the success of Hawthorne 's school and insisted that he would go to college. After receiving education at Bowdoin College, Hawthorne spent several years to master the writing skill by itself. At that time, Hawthorne discovered that his fathers were the founder of Salem Witch Judgment and the leader of Puritans. Immediately after this tragic discovery, he wrote "Young Goodman Brown". This is considered one of the greatest stories in American literature history. Ethically analyzing Nathaniel Hawthorne 's work, I can brighten his short film.
