DESCRIPTION

First published in 1835, Nathaniel Hawthorne’s classic, allegorical tale, “Young Goodman Brown,” is set in an early American Puritan community in which the title character, Goodman Brown, faces temptation and the grim picture of humanity’s natural depravity.

The true tragedy, however, lies in Goodman Brown’s loss of simple faith in the goodness of people.
