How does the opening of this story echo a common biblical storyline. young goodman brown

Goodman Brown's decision to go into the wilderness echoes Jesus (and other prophets) going into the wilderness to be tempted by evil.

Explanation:

Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Young Goodman Brown" tells the story of a man going into the forest to be tempted. This journey he had to take was an "evil purpose" which he did not want to reveal to his wife Faith. Like in the story, the Biblical story of how Jesus Christ was tempted by the devil in the wilderness is similar to that of Brown being tempted by the devil in the forest.  And each time Brown resists the temptation, rather clinging for the sake of his wife Faith, it is also along the same vein of Christ resisting the temptation of Satan in delivering him false promises. Goodman Brown's decision to go into the wilderness echoes Jesus (and other prophets) going into the wilderness to be tempted by evil.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
