Answer:
This non-fictional story can be called an essay written to analyse the imagery and symbolism in “Young Goodman Brown”.
Option (A) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown,” is an allegorical short story with the tinge of witchcraft. The imagery and symbolism used in this story creates an eerie atmosphere. From walking in the forest, meeting an old man looking just like his own self, then an old woman to Goodman hearing his wife’s voice and coming to an open field where a ceremony was being held – everything painted a gloomy and scary picture. The purpose behind creating such a plot is Hawthorne’s way of expressing his disdain towards the ideals of the Puritan society. Brown’s loss of faith at the end of the story shows that he has rejected the tenets of the Puritan world.
