    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
