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?
