New England in 1656. It displays most clearly two of Hawthorne’s main themes: (1) the need to balance
the head and the heart; and (2) the evil of “pernicious principles” in ideologies such as Calvinism and early
Quakerism that imbalance and divide the soul, leading to inhumanity and perhaps to damnation, which is
“eternal alienation from the good and the true,” as exemplified by the Calvinists Young Goodman Brown,
Parson Hooper and “The Man of Adamant.” The fanatical Quaker mother, Catherine, is comparable to
Anne Hutchinson, who was exiled for heresy in 1637, and to Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter |
