        <description><![CDATA[The primary similarity between Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter and "Young Goodman Brown" is that both stories deal with the basic conflict of good versus evil.  In each story, an innocent person is faced with the temptation to sin; in The Scarlet Letter, Hester Prynne and Reverend Dimmesdale give in to temptation and are faced with the consequences of their actions, which are different for each of them.  In "Young Goodman Brown",...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Evert Augustus Duyckinck made this statement about Hawthorne:

Of the American writers destined to live, he is the most original, the one least indebted to foreign models, or literary precedents of any kind.

Like the burgeoning country, Hawthorne was free from the influences of Europe, creating his own style in the first truly American novel, "The Scarlet Letter," published in 1850.  His protagonist, Hester Prynne, is like no other feminine...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Nathaniel Hawthorne was what is termed an anti-Romantic, or a dark Romantic.  Dark Romanticism is a reaction to Transcendentalism, a belief that seems too optimistic to such writers as Hawthorne, Poe, and Melville. The best way to identify techniques is to look for passages that exemplify the following characteristics: (Some example are provided for you, but you will need man more, I know.)
These writers much less confident of the notion...]]></description>
