Essay / Research Paper Abstract
4 pages in length. The truth that lies within a literary work of art is that which addresses the inherently complicated and diverse attitudes as they exist within each individual. Both Young Goodman Brown and Araby are about human nature -- the very truth of human nature -- which is why they are often painful to accept. Indeed, Hawthorne and Joyce's work represent all that is the human experience, a pertinent reason why these two stories appeal so greatly to a limitless audience. A relevant phrase in literary circles that relates to the overall concept of good and evil in these tales is that of the human condition, which refers -- quite logically -- to the definition of being human. Analyzing Young Goodman Brown and Araby, one finds the human condition is a regular consideration, in that humanity is constantly in question: Is Man strong or weak, good or evil, redeemed or condemned, honorable or chicken-hearted? The climate of the human condition is what compels the authors to delve deeply into the conscience of humanity through their struggling protagonists. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

deeply into the conscience of humanity through their struggling protagonists. Young Goodman Brown is indicative of the interwoven themes of Hawthornes own
Puritan connections and those of his characters. Brown, brought up with Puritan cultural beliefs and teachings, finds himself ill prepared for the reality of humanitys cruel heart. True
to Hawthornes nature of portraying both the worst and the best humankind has to offer, he depicts Brown as seriously handicapped by the unrealistic expectations he places upon the moral
fiber of his family, friends and educators. "It was strange to see, that the good shrank not from the wicked, nor were the sinners abashed by the saints" (Hawthorne
PG). It is by way of his constant examination of the enigmas of evil and of moral responsibility that Hawthornes audience is able to capture the true essence of
