Description

Introduction

"Young Goodman Brown" and "The Minister's Black Veil" are stories from Hawthorne that deal with both the religion of his ancestor's time and his own view of this religion.

Prompt

In a well-organized essay, address the following questions regarding both of these stories: How do these stories reflect Hawthorne’s views on Puritanism or religion in general? In other words, how much faith (no pun intended) does Hawthorne seem to have regarding organized religion or religious leaders specifically? If there is a difference in how he depicts religious leaders in these stories, what is the reason for the difference?

Your answer to these questions should be a well-organized, formal essay of AT LEAST 500 words (any submissions shorter than this minimum word count will have the % missing deducted from the overall rubric score).

Additional Considerations

Please make sure to review your similarity % to avoid any hint of plagiarism, particularly because this essay is part of the "Major Assignments" category. If you are unsure as to what an appropriate similarity % should be, review the Plagiarism and Turnitin page from the "Getting Started" module.
