Young Goodman Brown
by
by
A young man becomes thoroughly disenchanted after he discovers that beneath the goodness of all the upright people he knew was a lurking evil, hypocrisy and sin.
The story begins sweetly, with its protagonist Goodman, and his wife Faith exchange kisses as Goodman starts on a journey. Then he meets his travelling companion, the devil, and the story gets stranger and stranger. Allegorical to the extent of winking at its own allegory, this was a nice introduction to Hawthorne

Goodman and Faith! What must be the name of their kids? Besides that little joke of mine, such an interesting review, Raul!

Short and sweet review, Raul. I've just read the story, it is also my first Hawthorne and I agree it is a nice introduction to his work.
