Young Goodman Brown was hallucinating

I believe in the story “Young Goodman Brown”  Brown was hallucinating everything throughout the whole story. “They were my good friends, both; and many a pleasant walk have we had along this path...”. This shows the old man knew to much about Browns relatives, but never actually met Brown. Most strangers you have never met won’t actually come up to you and randomly talk about your relatives in any way. “Welcome!” repeated the fiend-worshippers, in one cry of despair and triumph. And there they stood, the only pair, as it seemed, who were yet hesitating on the verge of wickedness, in this dark wood.” This is showing that Brown was watching the evil ceremony, but wasn’t actually attending it. If there was really an “evil ceremony” I don’t think most people would be able to find it and let them hear what they talk about.”Often, awaking suddenly at midnight, he shrank from the bosom of Faith, and at morning or eventide, when the family knelt down at prayer, he scowled, and muttered to himself, and gazed sternly at his wife, and turned away.” When Brown woke up he was already home, in the story it doesn’t explain how he got home. He also couldn’t trust his wife Faith for what she did however, she seemed very nice and I don’t think she was evil.

Response to “Dream Within a Dream”

What I understand from the poem “Dream Within a Dream” is that it seems hard to understand what is a dream and what it real life. It is also really hard to remember what your dream was about even after you just woke up. No matter how had you try to remember it the less you seem to know what you were dreaming about and even the most basic details about it. The author also want to show how he would like to hold on to them for a long period of time so he can remember at least the good things in life, even if that comes from just a dream.

Brave New World Theme

From reading the book Brave New World the theme for me is loneliness. In the beginning we are introduced to Bernard, when we meet him he feels like he doesn’t fit in. He seems to be different from others and thinks differently than the people from the World State. People in the World State take soma and do sexual things in order to please themselves and others because they feel empty inside. John also feels out of place when he arrives to the World State that he wants to leave to the island.
