Abstract #1
Hollinger, Karen. "' 'Young Goodman Brown': Hawthorne's 'Devil in Manuscript' ': A Rebuttal." Studies in Short Fiction 19.4 (1982): 381. Literary Reference Center. Web. 13 Aug. 2014. In the following article, Hollinger presents a denial to James L. Williamson's essay on “Young Goodman Brown,” arguing that the narrator is not of the devil's party, but instead someone who exposes the hypocrisy of the Puritan New England society. In narrating a satanic tale, the speaker in the course of telling the story expresses a demonic amusement. Young Goodman Brown tries to influence the speaker to stay away from all of the characters, especially those who are with the devils party. There are three satanic figures throughout the course of this story, the traveler with the twisted staff, Goody Cloyse and the Puritan divine. The speaker identifies the figure with the twisted staff as a figure in which resembles Browns ancestors, and almost everyone he knows, except for himself, all to accomplish a huge distance between Brown and the traveler with the twisted staff. The traveler and the speaker connect in ways of having an amused attitude toward Brown. The speaker never seems to find Browns situation in the slightest joyful. Goody Cloyse and the speaker both have connections to gossip. He identifies the traveler with the twisted staff, “in the very image of my old gossip, Goodman Brown, the grandfather of the silly fellow that now is. The third satanic figure, the Puritan divine, as leader of the witches meeting, uses a tone of respectful preaching that is never meant by him as a sarcastic mockery, while the speaker, on the other hand, used it for that purpose. The speaker’s voice is not intended to be associated with that of the diabolical figures, but also that he wishes to remain very distant from them. If the speaker identified with the evil characters in the tale, it would seem at least once he would slip into their consciousness to record their perceptions of events, but this never occurs. The encounters with the traveler with the twisted staff, Goody Cloyse, the minister and Deacon Gookin, and the experiences of the witches’ meeting are all perceived through Browns consciousness and only his internal reactions to them are described. The speaker eventually breaks off from Browns perspective as Brown becomes shocked and let down by his initiation into evil that he is unable to see the good that is also within man. The speaker thinks that Browns inability to see both good and evil within man makes the rest of his life a nightmare and his dying hour one of doom. Far from being of the devils party, the speaker is a member of the party of man believing that the hypocrisy of Puritan New England made it possible for Goodman to understand.
