<span>1) The tone of the poem is bitter. This sonnet is about a forbidden love and the risk which author takes when he puts up with his feelings. He acknowledges that he can be judged by others, and that this love is a sin, but the feelings are far powerful than harsh reality. That's why the tone of the poem is bitter, as it is hard for author to resist his sinful thoughts.

2) He uses the simile of Eve’s apple, which symbolizes the deception concealed in attractive things. Simile is a figure of speech that is employed to express the comparison of one thing with another one. The author admits that he is attracted by the youth and appearance of the one he loves, and though he realises that it can bring lots of troubles forbidden fruit is the sweetest.
3) The poet contrasts the lady's beauty and her virtue to show that her beauty does not reveal her inner corruption. Shakespeare represents here a symbol of outward perfection but internal vice: the one he is in love with has a beautiful appearance, but she may be morally worm-eaten with vice.<span>

How does the author contrast the differing points of view of Goodman Brown and his wife, Faith?
nekit [7.7K]
THE WEAKNESS OF PUBLIC MORALITY

In “Young Goodman Brown,” Hawthorne reveals what he sees as the corruptibility that results from Puritan society’s emphasis on public morality, which often weakens private religious faith. Although Goodman Brown has decided to come into the forest and meet with the devil, he still hides when he sees Goody Cloyse and hears the minister and Deacon Gookin. He seems more concerned with how his faith appears to other people than with the fact that he has decided to meet with the devil. Goodman Brown’s religious convictions are rooted in his belief that those around him are also religious. This kind of faith, which depends so much on other people’s views, is easily weakened. When Goodman Brown discovers that his father, grandfather, Goody Cloyse, the minister, Deacon Gookin, and Faith are all in league with the devil, Goodman Brown quickly decides that he might as well do the same. Hawthorne seems to suggest that the danger of basing a society on moral principles and religious faith lies in the fact that members of the society do not arrive at their own moral decisions. When they copy the beliefs of the people around them, their faith becomes weak and rootless.
