“Young Goodman Brown” – the styleSculley Bradley, Richmond Croom Beatty and E. Hudson Long in “The social criticism of a public man” state: “Beyond the his extraordinary sense of the past, which gives a genuine sound to historical reconstructions, beyond his precise and simple style, which is in the great tradition of family narrative, the main charm of his work lies in the quality of his allegory" (49) . The style found in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown" contains the characteristics mentioned in the previous passage, as well as many others, which will be discussed in this essay. The "precise" style mentioned by Bradley above could be the "detailed" style. stated by Clarice Swisher in “Nathaniel Hawthorne: a Biography”; he says: “In his diary – a sort of artist's sketchbook – he recorded twenty-five thousand words describing people and places in detail” based on two short visits (18). The author's attention to detail may be the reason why every word seems to have meaning in his sentences. You can drop a few words from the opening sentence without sacrificing any meaning: “Young Goodman Brown stepped out into the Salem village street at dusk, but laid his head back, after crossing the threshold, to exchange a parting kiss with his young wife? .”The reader may immediately notice that Hawthorne writes in a cultured and cultured style, avoiding the use of profanity, foul language, or words offensive to the ear.

Even the most emotional outburst in the entire story contains no language. remotely unpleasant or uncultured: "'Ah! ah! ah!' roared Goodman Brown, as the wind laughed at him. “Let's see who will laugh the loudest! Don't worry about scaring me with your devilry! Come witch, come wizard, come Indian powow, come devil himself! and here comes Goodman Brown. You can also fear him as much as he fears you!’"
