  1. Evaluating Symbolism, Allegory, and Imagery Elements of Fiction Mrs. Kercher 8th Grade Gifted

  2. The Young Goodman Brown • Written by Nathaniel Hawthorne

  3. “The Young Goodman Brown” • What does the first image of Faith present to the reader? • Identify other uses of image and symbolism that add to the development of the allegory. • What significance does the staff have throughout the story? The pink ribbon? • Could the symbol of the pink ribbon be used in a similar way for today’s readers? What are the differences in the meanings associated with the pink ribbon in Hawthorne’s story as compared with the way the symbol might function today? What are the similarities?

  4. “The Young Goodman Brown” 5. Hawthorne ensures that there is some ambiguity at the end of the story by suggesting that Goodman Brown’s experience in the forest could be a dream. How would the story have been different if it were made clear that Brown's experience actually did happen? What if it were made clear that it really was a dream?
