For this assignment, we will read three critical articles that discuss and evaluate Nathaniel Hawthorne’s story “Young Goodman Brown.” We will learn to thoughtfully read critical commentary and to use secondary source information to substantiate the essay’s claim. For this essay, you will use evidence from all three articles we will read in class and evaluate their significance as you consider how to methodically incorporate the information to substantiate your overall claim-your thesis. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s story “Young Goodman Brown” is a tale that explores good and evil. At the beginning of the tale, it appears as if Goodman Brown sees himself and his community as good, humble people; yet when he partakes on a journey through the evil forest, he realizes that humanity is unable to escape sin; that it is human nature to commit sin. His decision to meet with the Devil could indicate Brown’s ambiguity as it pertains to his pious nature; however, his devotion to continue the journey elucidates Goodman Brown’s cultural consciousness, with the realization that humanity’s depravity is pervasive. Goodman Brown ends the tale discerning that evil is ubiquitous, though it is important to note that perhaps the malevolent nature Brown perceives humanity is guilty of committing he too is guilty of committing. His aberrant behavior is evident in his willingness to meet with the Devil. The Devil is not merely a manifestation of evil, but rather his presence introduces evil as an abstract idea. At the end of the story, Goodman Brown is unable to forgive the townspeople for the sins he perceives they have committed. Critically evaluate Goodman Brown’s journey through the forest by exploring the evident struggle between good and evil. You will incorporate evidence from all 3 critical essays to support your overall claim: “Young Goodman Brown’s ‘Heart of Darkness’” by Paul J Hurley; “The Problem of faith in ‘Young Goodman Brown’” by Leo B Levy; and “Ambivalence in ‘Young Goodman Brown’” by Walter J Paulits.
