Reminder: You decide who you will analyze in what paragraphs. Note how this model only mentions 1 female and 1 male in thesis; it has 2 body paragraphs about Faith and 1 about Brown. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s short story “Young Goodman Brown” portrays Faith as a loving and worrisome wife, while Goodman Brown is seemingly strong and determined. These portrayals reveal a stereotypical view of women and men in the Puritan period, much different than today’s view. Of the two main female characters, Faith is presented as good and loving wife. For example. Faith, who wears pink ribbons and is “aptly named, ” asks Brown to put off his journey as “a lone woman is troubled with such dreams and thoughts that she’s afeard of herself sometimes. ” (1) Her name, Faith, represents that she is “faithful” to her husband God. Faith’s hair ribbons, a stereotypical pink often associated with girls, also associates her with feminine innocence. She is supposed to represent an adoring, dutiful wife. While being adoring and faithful are not bad traits, through a feminist perspective, this portrayal of women is one-dimensional. This limit role of women, as housewives and spiritual instructors, reflects Hawthorne's Puritan background. While Faith at first appears in a positive way, she is also shown as a nervous woman. . . …. . In the story……. . This interaction reveals……… Young Goodman Brown, on the other hand, is shown as a strong and determined man and husband. For instance……. . This action shows………. In many ways, the character portrayals in this story reveal a stereotypical, archaic view of women as passive followers, and a traditional view of men as patriarchal protectors and “doers. ” Over one hundred years later, the reader still can contemplate the roles individuals assume in a marriage. While love, faith, and determination are important in any relationship, they are not necessarily seen as gender specific today.
