... story as a good Puritan who is devoted to his wife, the community, and the Christian way of life. His wife, Faith, symbolizes his faith in himself, the community, and "Faith" herself. Goodman Brown is struggling with temptation, the devil, and the ways of the Christian faith. He doesn't feel that he can face this struggle. He has a low level of confidence in himself, as did the author, Hawthorne himself. Hawthorne wrote this story during a time when he himself was growing up doubting the Puritan faith. This story takes place at least a generation after the Salem Witch Trials. Both Brown and Hawthorne exhibit doubt ...

... to have grown duskier" (Hawthorne 103). Chillingworth's "dark complexion" represents his evil, which in time has "grown duskier", meaning his evil ways have grown. Terence Martin states, when utter blackness succeeds the vivid light of the meteor, the smiling and scowling face of the physician seems somehow to remain "painted on the darkness," (115). Martin shows how good can shine on the physician, yet his evil still remains in the darkness. Even Pearl, an innocent child who does not know Chillingworth, refers to him as a dark person. When speaking to her mother, she says, "Come away, mother! Come away, or ...

... of Dr. Mitchell's ineffective treatment came to life in the story "The Yellow Wallpaper." On the surface, this gothic tale seems only to relate one woman's struggle with mental illness, but because Guilman was a prominent feminist and social thinker she incorporated themes of women's rights and the poor relationships between husbands and wives (Kennedy and Gioia 424). Guilman cleverly manipulates the setting to support her themes and set the eerie mood. Upon first reading "The Yellow Wallpaper," the reader may see the relationship between the narrator and her husband John as caring, but with examination one ...

... by his relentless efforts to take advantage of the uneducated majority. Napoleon's personal characteristics not only corrupted others but himself as well. His devious personality, manipulative nature, and personal drive all lead to the disintegration of society in Animal Farm. From the start Napoleon was thought to be a very devious character. He is a cold hearted individual and the effect he had on others didn't have much impact on his moral character. His tactics for deception were his cunning ways. An example of this is when the pigs milked the cows and someone asked what was going to happen to all ...

... the theme, and Guest's style of writing. I enjoyed the complexity and intensity of each character, and each character's need for affection. I also enjoyed reading how each character would react differently with other characters. Another thing I liked was the story's theme. I think the theme of would be not to try to repress one's feelings, even when it may be difficult to face them. Feeling occasional depression or anger may be what we must sacrifice for the happiness in life. Guest's style of writing is also very interesting to read. I enjoyed the way she would use the word "he" when describing a character r ...

... daily Puritan life. In the deep, dark portions of the forest, many of the pivotal characters bring forth hidden thoughts and emotions. The forest track leads away from the settlement out into the wilderness where all signs of civilization vanish. This is precisely the escape route from strict mandates of law and religion, to a refuge where men, as well as women, can open up and be themselves. It is here that Dimmesdale openly acknowledges Hester and his undying love for her. It is also here that Hester can do the same for Dimmesdale. Finally, it is here that the two of them can openly engage in conversa ...

... is evidence to his unreliable, yet most exaggerated tale. However, the narrator’s obsession with supernatural forces gives way for an almost evil presence; which asks the reader to question if any event could actually occur, as the narrator himself is not so sure. First of all, it is obvious to the reader that the root of all the narrator’s problems arise from his alcoholism; and he agrees that from this sole vice, he has “…experienced a radical alteration for the worse� (Poe 894). The alcohol transforms the narrator into a demon like creature, and because this downfall is so very relevant to many ...
