The Sins Of Young Goodman Brown

It is impossible to fairly analyze Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Young Goodman Brown", which is based on literary approaches. An American novelist, essayist, and poet Herman Melville wrote an article about Hawthorne's short story, like time it just looks like wine, improving the taste and body only (Hermanmei Erver's Life and work) As he gets older, Hawthorne 's short story keeps getting better, leading today' s reader to a meaningful world and choosing from a symbolic meaning.

The focus of this story has many similarities with "red". In the novel and "Young Goodman Brown", the forest is where the devil lives. In the "red letter" this is the place of the crime, in the "young Goodman Brown" this is a young man dressed in devil's mercy. In Hawthorn 's two works, the wizards of the town are seen by the main characters of the forest, heading towards the devil. The forest clearly represents the encounter between sinners and the ultimate evil forces.

In 'Young Goodman Brown' and 'Minister's Black Bail', secret sins and hypocrisies are very obvious. Through these two stories, Hawthorne shows that secret sin and hypocrisy destroys life. In "Young Goodman Brown", Goodman Brown had to see the devil for his "secret sin". I agree with CK. After the meeting, Goodman Brown will always suffer. He treats people in different ways He treats people in different ways and And his life is being ruined by a secret sin. Every citizen lives a hypocritical life, which destroys their lives and Brown's life. In the "minister 's black veil", secret sins also ruined his life. His whole congregation saw him in different ways, and his relationship with his wife was basically over. He eventually died at the end of the story. Secret sin and hypocrisy always finds ways to reveal and destroy someone's life

Young Goodman Brown is a common person who brings a ritual journey to the sins of mankind. Sin is a human virtue, Brown has not noticed yet. This is a story to discover sin and sin. However, the problem is as follows. Did this really happen? Brown that meets real people is still a ghost made by devil. Whether the journey is a dream or a reality, "From that terrible dream night, he will be a tough, sad, dark meditation, untrustworthy, or even despair."
