The first setting is the Salem village.  The story begins at dusk in Salem Village, Massachusetts as young Goodman Brown leaves Faith, his wife of three months, for some unknown errand in the forest.  

The second setting is the forest which is characterized as devilish, frightening, and dark, and Goodman Brown is comfortable in it only after he has given in to evil.

The characteristics of a gothic atmosphere usually pass in the first place for a romantic setting: dark landscapes, dark forests, medieval ruins and castles with their respective basements, crypts and passageways well populated with ghosts, nocturnal noises, chains, skeletons, demons and witches. In the case of Young Goodman Brown story, Hawthorne accomplishes this gothic genre by introducing the description of the forest and the existence of witches at that time.  This atmosphere would move readers to fear and question their surroundings.

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is said to be a novel of its time, meaning that it reflects the values and issues of
Lilit [14]
This statement is correct because the novel accurately and vividly depicts the gap between Victorian moral ideals and their absolute subversion and degradation. When deformed and hideous Mr. Hyde knocks down a little girl in the passage, it is almost a metaphor for his knocking down everything that is sacred and valued within his society - and the girl herself is a symbol of innocence. A couple of months later, he beats a man to death, displaying his urge for violence. But the most disturbing fact is that he is the same person as Dr. Jekyll, a well respected and decent man of high standing in his society, who can't bear to give up on his evil alter-ego. It depicts the fact that the more the society tries to restrain our dark urges, the stronger and more irresistible they become.
