Alienation and Moral Dilemma
Nathaniel Hawthorn was born in Salem, Massachusetts in 1804 during Puritan times. He created many stories that reflect his life experiences growing up as a Puritan. He writes stories that end with a moral that was learned through the struggles of the characters. These characters are almost always faced with a dilemma where they must choose what is right versus what is wrong. Another common theme in his writing is alienation. These concepts can be found in the stories ?Young Goodman Brown,? ?The Minister?s Black Veil,? and ?The Birth Mark.? They are all about a life altering decision one must face and the consequences of that decision. In ?Young Goodman Brown,? the dilemma faced by the main character is about the strength of his faith in God and the trust he losses for his wife and community.

Finally, in ?The Birth Mark,? the main character becomes obsessed with a slight physical flaw on wife?s face; an obsession that ultimately leads to the destruction the thing he cherished most dearly.The story, ?Young Goodman Brown,? is about a man named Goodman Brown who must leave his wife Faith to go
