It should be about story - Book Report/Review Example

Young Goodman Brown book’s review Goodman Brown sets out of his house for an errand thus leaving his young wife, faith all alone and afraid of what would happen at dark (Hawthorne 23). He requests her to say a prayer before sleeping and everything would be alright. Though the story is filled with aspects of suspense, it is clear as it proceed that Brown was up to no good. From the story, Brown shows both the aspects of innocence and that of corruptibility. The reason is that he believes in the good of the people that surrounded him while reckoning that the devil had taken over their minds.

Initially, he believed that his father and grandfather were good Christian people until the devil emphasizes that he knew the two of them. He also believed in the insinuated Christian nature of Goody Cloyse, the deacon Gookin and the apparent minister. However, the devils reveal to him that Goody Cloyse is a witch and the deacon and the minister are his faithful followers. He believes that his dear wife faith is pure and full of Christian good until the devils reveals her true self to him. Thus according to this story, Brown is not yet aware of what he wants in terms of his religion.

He juxtaposes as a Christian yet his faith is easily shaken. Thus, behind the public godliness that many people in the area wanted to be seen, they were not always Christians. The fact that Brown was willing to visit the forest knowing very well what he was going to find there was a clear indication of the corrupt nature of the faith of most Christians in the area.Works CitedHawthorne, Nathaniel.
