Abstract
This paper discusses well-known journalist Ellen Goodman. Her style of non-confrontational feminism is examined and her use of rhetorical techniques is analyzed. The paper reviews several of Goodman's essays and cites them as examples of her technique. Finally, the paper provides a brief critique of Goodman's writing style.
From the Paper
"Ellen Goodman is often called a feminist journalist. However, within the framework of any ideological movement such as feminism, there are many different factions and many different ?isms.? Rather than attempting a radical critique of gender roles, Goodman usually prefers a more gentle, mainstream examination of the relationship of males and females in contemporary society. Goodman does not discount the presence of discrimination against women today. She acknowledges that she has faced discrimination personally, both professionally and as a media consumer. But Goodman also, through the use of a discursive and relatively un-confrontational rhetorical prose style, reinforces male and female binaries. Goodman?s refusal to use a traditionally structured argument in many of her pieces on gender both reinforces as well as questions gender norms."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown", the root of Brown's failure isn't that he is evil but his ability to construct and maintain his epistemology is inferior and leads to his demise. The author stresses that this story eloquently illustrates that not thinking leaves people completely unequipped to experience truly and understand life. The paper concludes that "Young Goodman Brown" demonstrates no matter how passionately we believe in something, if we do not have a well-established understanding of that belief, we will eventually be deceived. Quotations.
From the Paper
"As humans, it is in our nature to search for answers. Throughout history, our desire for understanding has pushed us to new levels in every aspect of our lives. This natural curiosity is present in each and every human being and plays a role in our daily lives, whether we think about it or not. As Hawthorne illustrates in his story, however, our appetite for knowledge can be a double-edged sword. Without a well-constructed ability to evaluate and construct belief systems, our innate inquisitiveness will only lead us into falsehood. Hawthorne repeatedly shows us both Brown's curiosity and his epistemological ambiguity."

Abstract
The paper demonstrates how Goodman Brown, the main character of Nathaniel Hawthorne's story, experiences a lifetime of paranoia and misery, leading him to a gloomy death. The paper portrays how his fears are displayed both overtly and through symbols in the story.
Outline:
Faith and Faith
Faith's Ribbons
The "Stranger"
Paranoia
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Brown's fears and paranoia can be seen through several symbols that persist throughout the story. These things can be seen through his wife, Faith; through Faith's ribbons; and through the image of his uncle. The effects that are created by the interaction of these things cause Young Goodman Brown to live his life in doubt of what he sees with his very eyes, leading him to his misery at his death."
"The most overt symbol of this story comes in the person of Brown's wife, Faith. Her name represents the central device that moves the plot: the characters' faith in God. Without Faith, Brown's life loses purpose. He is only newly married, but, in fact, he already intends to "cling to her skirts and follow her to Heaven" (Hawthorne, 1892, p. xx). Before leaving, Brown sees that Faith appears troubled at his departure; however, he decides to keep his appointed meeting, anyway."

An Analysis of Nelson Goodman?s Theory of Depiction, 2006.

Abstract
This paper probes Goodman's theory of depiction which is a form of metaphorical exemplification which the philosopher also calls expression. This well-researched and detailed paper examines Goodman's system of determining the relationship between work and emotion which applies broadly to the arts. This paper also focuses on Goodman's approach to nominalism as an ontological position about the existential status of abstract objects as well as his aesthetic program that advances a belief in the intellectual nature of art.
From the Paper
"For Goodman, the nominalist, there is no chance of inherent essence of a label, and so the only explanation for the interplay in a re-assignment involved in metaphor are rules of association which govern the behavior of labels. A sort of conventional nominalism chalks these rules up to "practice," while a stipulative nominalism would determine that the rules are handed down by an unknown source. In any case, the rules are ordered by the conditions in which the label is applied. For example, when confronted with a painting, a decision is made to apply the predicate "inspiring" to the object in question."

?Young Goodman Brown?, 2002.
A review of Nathaniel Hawthorne?s novel, ?Young Goodman Brown?.
2,257 words (approx. 9.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 69.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Nathaniel Hawthorne?s ?Young Goodman Brown? details the temptation and eventual disillusionment of a young Puritan man, who, when confronted with the massive possible hypocrisy of the community in which he lives, is unable to adapt successfully to a portrait of the world that does not live up to his romantic ideals. It looks at how Hawthorne weaves enough structural ambiguity into the story to make it unclear for both the reader and for Brown just what the actual reality is and how, at its conclusion, we are left to a realm of unknowns and suspicion as much as he is. It shows how, ultimately, the story of "Young Goodman Brown" is the story of a young man who, once his romantic ideals about the world are tested, lapses instead into a cynicism and frustration that represents the completely opposite end of the spectrum.
From the Paper
"Nathaniel Hawthorne?s Story ?Young Goodman Brown? opens with a brief exchange between Young Goodman Brown and his wife, Faith, whose very name points to an obvious symbolic dimension of her character in the story. We discover quickly in their exchange of dialogue that they are newlyweds, very much in love. Indeed, the fact that they are newly married, as well as the title of ?young? that precedes Goodman Brown?s name all inform us that the are both new to the world of independent experience, that the still possess many romantic illusions about life, and that they are generally inexperienced. Yet, at their otherwise sweet parting, there is a strangeness. Faith asks her husband not to depart on his unspecified errand and suggests that she has had some sort of premonition, a premonition that Young Goodman Brown himself seems to share."

"Oedipus Rex" and "Young Goodman Brown", 2006.
A comparison and contrast of Sophocles' "Oedipus Rex" and Nathanial Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown."

Abstract
The title characters of Sophocles' "Oedipus Rex" and Nathanial Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" share common traits -- those of arrogance, righteousness and a belief that they could raise themselves to the level of the gods. The paper shows that both sought to define the wicked, though only Oedipus truly succeeded because he was determined to discover the truth, even if it meant his own destruction. The paper shows that Goodman Brown, through fear or stupid, smug piety never confirmed or denied whether his one defining event -- that wild witch meeting in the woods -- was reality or merely a dream.
From the Paper
"In reality, Brown is a fence-sitter. He perceives himself as a perfect judge of others: Are they pious or ungodly? Do they meet at the communion table or riot in the taverns? Perhaps it is the absolutist need of his to label others to one extreme or another that put his own soul in such a precarious position when he discovered (or dreamt) that these same folk he thought were saintly Christians were all in attendance at a witch-meeting."

Abstract
This paper looks at the way Nathaniel Hawthorne uses literary devices, such as diction (word choice), symbolism/archetypes, and characterization to craft "Young Goodman Brown" and create the atmosphere of that classic short story. Includes direct quotes and examples.
From the Paper
"Psalms 58:3 states, ?The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.? Men evil from birth possess a predetermined destiny toward baseness. This belief provides one of the fundamental strongholds of Puritanism. However, such a statement also implies the opposite; the good come into this world good, members of the elect. The New England Puritans carried their ideals all the way to the New World with them. Perhaps their smaller communities and greater dependency on each other made the reliance on the faith of salvation even more important to them. In a dreary New England village, an afterlife would seem very appealing. To achieve this goal, most New Englanders strove for purity, trying to live life without sin. People such as young Goodman Brown lived almost immaculately, but hid guilt (or at least, the capability of it) under their holy facades. Nathaniel Hawthorne, in his parody ?Young Goodman Brown,? employs several literary devices to convey the message that all people have the inclination toward vile sin."
