8、knowledgments 13I. Introduction1.1 The content and themeThis story tells us about Young Goodman Brown. Goodman Brown is a pure, young, and good pilgrim. And he pursues morality and all kinds of beautiful thing. However, Brown kisses goodbye to his new-married wife, Faith, to that dark forest. During
9、 this journey towards forest under the accompany of his fellow-traveller, Goodman Brown sees Goody Cloyse, Goody Cory, Deacon Gookin, even his Faith going to dark forest. In fact, those people are Goodman Browns deeply respectful and loving; but, they all come to the evil forest and do something bad
10、 and immoral. To Goodman Browns surprise, his wife also comes here and joins this “party”. Brown says:” My Faith is Gone.” At the same time, Goodman Brown loses his faith and belief. So this journey subverts Goodman Browns belief, faith, and whole world. Meanwhile, Goodman Brown sees clearly the hum
11、anity of all villagers. It is difficult for Goodman Brown to accept the sharp gap between reality and surface. At last, Goodman Brown dies with gloom and disappointment.In Young Goodman Brown, Nathaniel Hawthorne narrates Goodman Browns journey from innocent word to evil forest to show the two sides
12、 of humans humanity that human are being good by nature, but they also have bad instinct.1.2The research significance of this short storyNathaniel Hawthorne is a famous romanticism novelist and the pathfinder of psychological novel. In addition, he is good at dissecting peoples inner mind through us
13、ing symbolism, and he lays emphasis on morality and crime. At the same time, Nathaniel Hawthorne proposes washing crime and refining the heart by good behavior and self-repentance to gain the rescue. Hawthorne not only exposes the dark and evil aspect of society and man, but also shows the great amo
14、unt of sympathy for protagonists. And Young Goodman Brown is a good example. In Young Goodman Brown, Hawthorne narrates that Goodman Brown leaves his happy and innocent world with his new-married wife to that evil forest. Through this tour to forest, Goodman Brown sees the villagers with kind and be
15、auty in surface, but evil and ugly in essence. It is hard for Goodman Brown to accept such sharp gap between reality and surface. At last, Goodman Brown dies with gloom and disappointment. In this short novel, Hawthorne exposes the dark society and evil humanity. Although the plot is very simple, ab
16、undant symbolic images make the novel become richer, and this short story also turns into the researching focus of many scholars and professors.Symbolism comes from the word “symbol”, in Greek means a token that two sides separate one wood into two parts and hold one side separately in order to conn
17、ect each other. Then it gradually evolves into an accustomed and conceptual representative as a kind of form. Hawthorne is very good at showing theme by using symbolism. The Scarlet Letter, The House of the Seven Gables, and Young Goodman Brown use symbolism to apply colors to a drawing, and put emp
18、hasis on the destroy of Calvinisms control towards people, and on the hypocritical morality of upper parts of puritan. On the other hand, modern writers and poets also make use of symbolism to express their own special emotions. In Coastal Cemetery, French poet Paul Valery uses symbolism to express
19、poets own special thought about life and death, spirit and flesh. And the poet also gets a truth that we should cherish our reality and love our life. In L Oiseau bleu, Belgian playwright Maeterlinck, M makes good use of symbolism. The playwright not only gives L Oiseau bleu symbolic meaning: happin
20、ess, but only points out that human need to transform from innocence to cognition in the process of contradict, then after getting the natural secret they overcome the innocent tragedy so that human being can gain spiritual freedom. Therefore, if the writer excavates the usage of symbolism thoroughl
21、y, he can express his own special emotions and reveal the theme.1.3The definition and function of symbolismIn dictionary, the word “symbolism” means a system of symbols and symbolic representations. Actually, symbolism is a kind of art which can express special ideas or emotions. Symbolism doesnt de
22、scribe something directly and doesnt limit them by comparing with specific images, but implies what do ideas and emotions mean, and uses the symbols without explanations in order to recreate them in readers mind. However, this is just one aspect of symbolism which refers to the individual part, not
23、show the social aspect. In fact, symbolism has the second feature that is called transcendental symbolism. The specific images use common, wide, and ideal world to demonstrate symbol, not writers symbol of given thoughts or emotion. This ideal word exists in idea beyond the reality. The philosophica
24、l basis of symbolism is mysticism. It is an important point that symbolism reveals individual subjective mood to make people separating from real life. So we can just feel the abstract and unsteady essence which is full of individual part and obscure meaning. The symbolism not only can enhance the p
25、oems rhyme, but also can strengthen artistic expression. On the other hand, symbolism can connect the small common thing with the whole wide world, so that readers can compare the events happening in the story to the events which take place in history or legend. In addition, symbolism also has boost
26、er action in highlighting or strengthening theme. II. Literature ReviewThe domestic researches Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne from symbolism, religion, theme, personality, and translation to study this short story. But foreign scholars get less study in this short story. For example, Pre
27、dmore R “Young Goodman Brown”,Night journey into the Forest discusses the content of Young Goodman Brown.2.1 Domestic research status(1)There are ten passages to study Young Goodman Brown from symbolism. The Symbolism in Young Goodman Brown (2014) by Zhang Ying is from symbolism of four aspects: cha
28、racter, thing, scene, and passage design to reveal the theme. And Zhang Ying finds that Nathaniel Hawthornes symbolism has great influence in puritan. In Hawthornes Allegorical Novel Young Goodman Brown the Usage of Symbolism, Liang Xinxin analyzes the usage of four kinds of symbolism: name, thing,
29、behavior, and natural environment. At same time, she finds out the inner meaning of each kind of symbolism.

31、eads people to the confused abyss. So long as someone has deep love for life and understands the true meaning of life, he or she can find the road of refuge. In Hawthornes View of Puritanism-The Analysis of Browns Death in Young Goodman Brown (2007), Wang Qingguang discusses that this journey is doo
