Guilt and Separation In a Person
From both stories, the beginning motif of the character to the end turns out differently. The endings have the main character to think about their past, and how the specific event affected the rest of their lives. From Nathaniel Hawthorne’s story Young Goodman Brown, to Edgar Allan Poe’s story The Cask of Amontillado, one can find that from these stories, the main character finds guilt in themselves, feeling apart at the end, and have learned the lesson of not trusting anyone. Guilt occurs in the actions you take.
Hawthorne makes Goodman Brown do the wrong, giving him a feeling of guilt. “He had taken a dreary road, darkened by all the gloomiest trees of the forest, which barely stood aside to let the narrow

    Young Goodman Brown, written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, is a common American short story about the guilty conscience we human beings have. Goodman Brown is presented with a test of his faith in God. In this ambiguous story, Brown debates the reality of the events that took place versus everything just being a dream. The theme shows the battle between good and evil under the capacity of turning away from one’s faith and falling for the evils of life. Throughout the story, Hawthorne reveals the natural weaknesses in human nature and how the human soul falls into temptation.…

    The Common Theme of Guilt “Psychology Today” refers to guilt by saying “Guilt and its handmaiden, shame, can paralyze us––or catalyze us into action. Appropriate guilt can function as social glue, spurring one to make reparations for wrongs. Excessive rumination about one's failures, however, is a surefire recipe for resentment and depression.” Guilt plays a role in the novels The Dew Breaker, The Kite Runner, and The Namesake and as each main character works through their guilt, they seek rapprochement. Although “the dew breaker” in The Dew Breaker tries to work through his guilt, he is forever marked by the scar on his cheek and never seems to fully reach redemption.…

    Faith that Leads to Fear In Nathaniel Hawthorn’s short story, “Young Goodman Brown,” Hawthorn used different writing techniques like mystery and suspense to get his readers’ attention. When reading the story from the beginning to the end, the author leaves readers with many different questions. The question that I primarily considered was “what does all of this witchcraft, mysticism and the lifestyles of the characters really mean?” Hawthorn did not want his readers to simply view “Young Goodman Brown” as just a good story, but to consider that having a strong faith in life is one of the greatest assets a man or a woman can have in this world.…

    Hawthorne wanted to repent for his ancestor’s actions by distancing himself from his family heritage, so he changed his last name from Hathorne to Hawthorne.

Goodman Brown leaves his home at dusk and arrives back later at dawn to have a complete change in his perspective on the villagers of Salem. Goodman Brown finds that people he thought were pious instead are becoming members of a cult.…

    Young Goodman Brown tells the story of Young Goodman Brown’s life in Salem. This particular writing from Hawthorne focuses on the resistance of evil and is a way for Hawthorne to show the problems with the Puritan beliefs. Just looking at the plot of Young Goodman Brown, people can see that Hawthorne’s writings all come back to his past and how he feels about his ancestors. His view about the Salem Witch Trials and people of that time can even be seen through some of the statements that he made throughout his life. At some point in Nathaniel’s life he said, “Word – so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them” (Nathaniel Hawthorne Quotes 1).…

    This also leaves it unclear to whom the man is, forcing the reader to continue the story to find out the man’s identity. When Goodman Brown meets a woman on the path and she greets the man that resembles Goodman Brown by screaming “The Devil!” , the mystery of who the unknown man is resolved but just as that happens a new question popped up, why is a fellow church member in the woods, along with the ongoing question of if he will keep his Faith during his travels in the woods (Paragraph 29, Hawthorne). But if he will keep her is yet to be determined and for why would Goodman Brown go into the forest at all? Questioning his loyalty to the…

    The latter part of Hawthorne’s short story focuses on how Young Goodman Brown felt after returning from the woods, and the meeting with the devil. He returns to town and ignores everyone he comes in contact with, heading straight into his house. Then, on Sabbath day, while the church goers sang holy psalms,“...he could not listen because an anthem of sin rushed loudly upon his ear and drowned all the blessed strain” (Hawthorne 12). Young Goodman Brown cannot listen to the holy psalms because of the guilt he feels inside,sitting in a holy place when he has committed a sin. Because of that, Brown became “a stern, a sad, and a darkly meditative, a distrustful, if not desperate man” (12).…

    In a Young Goodman Brown Nathaniel Hawthorne explores themes of lost of innocence as well as the fault in human morality through the use of symbolism and imagery in the story. The lost of innocence can be looked at as a literal theme in the story since both Faith and Goodman Brown undergo a change to the reader from “good” people to people associated with sin. The theme of fault in human morality can be looked at as a figurative theme because it is showcased through the symbolism and the imagery created in the story. The theme of loss of innocence can be seen throughout Young Goodman Brown first with the innocence Faith represents though her dependant nature and the pink ribbons she wears in her hair.…

    Both Freud and Nietzsche not only analyse the state of guilt today, but also start by examining the origins of guilt. When examining the origins of guilt, their accounts are very similar, and revolve around key ideas such as pleasure, power, and aggression. It is not until the two give their thoughts on the present-day nature of guilt and it’s long-term prospects, that their thoughts on Guilt start to take two different and unique stances. Nietzsche looks further back than the current mindset, where,“the criminal deserves to be punished because he could have acted otherwise”("Genealogy", P.40).…

    The feeling of guilt can make it very difficult for people to think properly and enjoy their lives during their time of regret. The events that took place during The Crucible by Arthur Miller clearly illustrate guilt as the motivating factor in the many false convictions and deaths of twenty people. The acts of the people of Salem were influenced by the acts of a group of girls lead by Abigail Williams, who would act irrationally and accuse people for witchcraft. Many people were sold by the actions of these girls which ended up causing all of the hangings to occur. After some time people started to believe less and less of what the girls were saying; many of the girls felt guilty and left the town.…

    The satisfaction of sweet revenge is enough to make even the most innocent being sacrifice their freedom, such is the case in Edgar Allen Poe’s short story, “The cask of Amontillado”.

    The reason for this is possibly because his family’s history stretches back to the early days of the Salem Witch Trials where he became well acquainted with Puritan society. Being a master of symbolism, Hawthorne successfully conveys his message of acknowledgement of human faults and that there is as much evil in the world as there is good. Although the theme of good and evil that Hawthorne believes in does not coincide with Emerson’s belief that people are purely good, the theme of trust and faith in “Young Goodman Brown” seems to relate to both of the authors’ theories. Emerson’s support of the idea that people should believe in themselves directly opposes Hawthorne’s idea, as portrayed by Goodman Brown, which questions whether people are truly fit to make decisions for themselves. Emerson espouses the ideology of “Self-Reliance” whereas Hawthorne takes on a conformist view.…
