Young Goodman Brown
“Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne is a very religious story. By just
reading the title, I was expecting to read a story about a good young man who
named Brown. However I was partially correct, it is a story about a young man whose
name is Goodman Brown. Same to the author of “To a Locomotive in Winter”, Hawthorne also uses early modern English to write this literature.
It is hard to fully understand the story but I still like his way of using
early modern language since it gave me a chance to be similar to this kind of
literature. I also like how the author keeps change scenes between dreaming and
the reality. The part that I dislike is the ending, because I personally hate
tragic endings and the ending of the story is about Goodman Brown’s mind of suspecting everybody around him are evils. I would
like to recommend the story to my friends who believe in god since the
protagonist has a very strong believe on god.
