It was pretty ornery preaching—all about brotherly love, and such-like tiresomeness; but everybody said it was a good sermon, and they all talked it over going home, and had such a powerful lot to say about faith and good works and free grace and preforeordestination, and I don’t know what all, that it did seem to me to be one of the roughest Sundays I had run across yet.” This text shows how society is corrupt, for multiple reasons.

Nathaniel Hawthorne and the Apostle Luke reveal the sinful nature and spiritual transformation of their protagonists using conflict, symbolism, and irony. Comparatively, temptation is the root cause of the internal and external conflicts the confronting protagonists in “Young Goodman Brown “and “The Prodigal Son”.

Margaret Fuller goes on and on about Brown creating a female character who is feminine but strong and compares Brown and his character to that of another author similar to him and his female character. She concludes that Brown pin points the difference “of intellectual communication and of friendship” from the “hopes of early days” with “the relations of real live at present there is rarely more
