This was just confusing. Although I'm open to changing my mind after we talk more about it in class, I much prefer other short stories.

I laughed out loud through parts of this story. I really enjoyed the foreshadowing, analogies and literary components of this classic short story.

It’s a sad story but, even as a Christian, I loved it. God and Christianity did not prevail in this tale, but the downward descent in the story that made it get to that point was what fascinated me. Man’s path to living in sin. Let’s just say Satan is a crafty being.

A short story showing that just because someone appears to be godly, doesn’t mean it is really so.
to be honest this was giving what is my blud waffling about until the final page or so. I loveeeee the paranoia of it all I love that there will forever be an itch that he can't scratch and he'll just never know. kind of alex browning swag.... what do you even do with that kind of knowledge! but of course the whole idea of devilry and Satanic worship particularly in this early form is so ridiculous I can't really engage earnestly with the story. like no one would do that that you're sooooo silly nathaniel....
and of course most importantly... girl. what were YOU doing at the devil's sacrament 👀
Ok I'm editing this to say I was wrong I've thought about it I had a class I was very tired yesterday and I just learnt about hawthorne's family history so it was wrong of me to not give him any benefit of interpretation beyond the surface. like the whole point is we don't know if it was real or his paranoid delusions and it ruins his life... like of course a man like goodman brown would see the world like that. because he's insane. and even if you can interpret the events as if they really happened it's wrong dismiss the possibility of all other readings... but that's not hawthorne's fault. this is my official apology I'm sorry man you're not so bad I shouldn't have called you silly....
