About the book

The story begins at sunset in Salem, Massachusetts, as young Goodman Brown leaves Faith, his wife of three months, for an unknown errand in the forest. Faith pleads with her husband to stay with her but he insists the journey into the forest must be completed that night. In the forest he meets a man, dressed in a similar manner to himself and bearing a resemblance to himself. The man carries a black serpent-shaped staff.

    A metaphoric, ambiguous short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne that takes place in the transcendent sphere of Goodman Brown leaving him to question his belief and the Christian value system. A great read to philosophize about Hawthorne´s ambiguity and possible purpose and messages that he wants to convey to his reader. IG: nilguen_reads
