Hawthorne quickie

During last minute prep before class, I careened into a useful page on Young Goodman Brown from a Florida Gulf Coast University English class and thought I'd better bookmark it before it flees from my short term memory. The page contains a few pieces of intelligible criticism and an annotated text of the story. As the red state menace of New Puritanism swoops down over the homeland, it might be worth ruminating over this story. Do we want to be raising another generation of Goodmen and Goodies such as this? Hawthorne probes the deeply conflicted soul of American Puritanism with relentless honesty.
