About “Young Goodman Brown”
"Young Goodman Brown" is a short story published in 1835 by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Set in 17th-century Puritan New England, the story explores the Calvinist belief that humanity is inherently depraved, but that God has chosen some for salvation through grace. Hawthorne examines the tensions within Puritan culture, focusing on the theme of sin. The story follows Young Goodman Brown as he embarks on a journey that leads to his moral downfall and loss of faith. Through symbolic elements, the narrative reflects on self-scrutiny and the consequences of doubt. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
