In your opinion, is Nathaniel Hawthorne's description of Goodman Brown's dream believable? Give reasons to support your answer.
Tems11 [23]
<span>Nathaniel Hawthorne's description of Goodman Brown's dream is very believable. This is because Young Goodman Brown is a depiction of Puritan culture, and the Puritans as a whole were very repressed and terrified of d.amnation. As a result, it makes sense that he would encounter the d.evil in the woods, and that the moral would be that the d.evil is present in all people.This includes his faithful wife Faith, who may stand as a metaphor for religious belief if one is to take her name literally, but also represents the Puritans's- and religion as a whole's- degradation of women. With Christianity it started at the very beginning, with Eve taking a bite of the apple and condemning mankind. This is exactly the kind of dream that a repressed young Puritan man would have, especially early on in his marriage, where hidden doubts would begin to arise. Puritans greatly encouraged self denial, and so Young Goodman brown experiences temptation to sin, but must deny himself. As a result, he becomes old and miserly, and loses his faith in humanity. It is questionable whether Hawthorne intended Brown to actually have seen the d.evil, but the dream itself is believable.</span>
