What laws were made? Did anything happen to the owner? The Triangle Factory fire was a devastating situation: 145 people out of 500 died. It was a hard situation for many parents. Many parents also wanted a revenge on the owners. As I read some articles and stories about this fire to know what would happen to the owner. So I did a little research and this is what I found out!

insisting that all is well when we are miserable,” Voltaire once said, and Hawthorne seems to do just this. Whether it is one of his short stories or The Scarlet Letter, there always seems to be hope and a future for the main character. In Young Goodman Brown, a man searches for his wife, and symbolically, his faith, despite being surrounded by the devil and a satanist town. In The Minister’s Black Veil,” a pastor separates himself from society with a black veil, and yet still focuses on his…

The piece of literature chosen for this close reading is Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Nathaniel Hawthorne was born July 4th in the town of Salem, Massachusetts, the location chosen for the setting of Young Goodman Brown. Hawthorne is known for is his works that contain haunting details that focus on the depravity of man, yet are skilfully crafted.

In the story, Hester Prynne and Reverend Dimmesdale were adulterers and had a child, named Pearl, to reflect their sin.

“Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne perplexed my mind continuously throughout the story due to its complexity but I slowly began to develop my own interpretation of events as I read the text several times. In the beginning, a young man, Goodman Brown, is with his wife Faith, a character who symbolizes his Christian religion, and they are saying their goodbyes. Brown appears to be saddened by leaving his wife but makes his way to a forest that night to go on an “errand” as he states…

Hawthorne uses foreshadowing throughout the novel to explain the symbolism throughout the story. “‘But he will be known!-he will be known!-he will be known! (Hawthorne 59). This is foreshadowing because it tells you that the father of Pearl will be known. They will find out sooner or later. The symbolism in this is sin. They know who the one person is that committed the sin yet they don’t know who the other person is. The reader does but not the characters. Another example is, “With all these…

Nathaniel Hawthorne distinctly and clearly addresses the societal judgment of sin and wrongdoing in society in his novel, The Scarlet Letter. Hawthorne’s statement about natural human instincts and attitudes towards those who have done wrong is that people tend to outcast those who are seemed as sinners despite them likely being a sinner themselves.

Both fire extinguishers and smoke detectors were created before the Triangle Fire in 1911. In the nonfiction story Flesh and Blood So Cheap, author Albert Marrin uses both explicit and implicit to help him justify his theme that unsafe practices led to the Triangle Fire, which showed that workers lives’ were not a priority. Nobody knows how the fire started, but some say that it started with a cutter flicking hot ash or someone tossed a live cigarette into a scrap bin. There were 146 people who…

Nathaniel Hawthorne was born into a strong puritan faith family. Although his ancestors having a practiced a strong puritan faith, still participated in the salem witch trials condemning hundreds of people to be put on trial. Because of this Hawthorne criticized puritan ethical standards and would focused his stories around human perception of sin and morals. Many of his stories contain strong uses of allegory and symbolism giving a more deep perspective on human nature. Because of this…
