Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown - Moral and Philosophical Considerations

YOUNG GOODMAN BROWN: Moral and Philosophical Considerations Fear and suspension in Hawthorn's story is part of a fable that defines the theme of the story. In a fable (a story with a meaning in the basement), there is usually a one-to-one relationship; that is, ideas and things in the story only represent ideas and things. The story of the Old Testament explains this. Egyptian Pharaoh dreamed that seven fat cattle were swallowed by seven thin cattle.

"Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a story about a fable. "Young Goodman Brown" is a moral story told through the distortion of religious leaders. In "Goodman Brown", Goodman Brown is a priest of Puritan, after encountering the devil, he became proud to interfere with the relationship between himself and the community and put it in his community. Live an exile. "Young Goodman Brown" began with asking Brown's wife Fess to keep on "chores". Goodman Brown told his "love and (my) faith": "Tonight, I need to be away from you." When he said his "love" and his "belief" , He was with him. My wife told me that he was talking about his "beliefs" about God. He rushed into the forest to see the devil. He decided to "follow her with a skirt and follow her up."

In "Young Goodman Brown", Hawthorne reveals that Puritan society believes it emphasizes the corruption of public morality. It often weakens private religious beliefs. Goodman Brown decided to enter the forest and meet the devil, but he was still hidden when he saw Gudi Clossey and heard the minister and deacon Gogin. It is not because he decided to meet the devil, but he seems to care more about his beliefs with others. Goodman Brown's religious belief is rooted in the belief that people around him are also religious. This belief depends greatly on the views of other people and can easily be weakened. When Goodman Brown discovered that his father, grandfather, Goody Krose, Minister, Goulkin Deacon, and Face all joined the Devil, Goodman Brown decided to do the same at once. When they copy the beliefs of the people around them, their beliefs weaken and the roots become hard.
